[pct-l] Mt. McLoughlin

[schlaepfer]

Hi all,
I'm new here and plan a thru-hike this year.
On the map and on the pictures, Mt. McLoughlin (OR, map C1) looks  
beautiful and the guidebook's comment is also rather favourable.
However, searching journals of past PCT hikers, I noticed that barely  
anyone adds it to their route.
According to
	http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/rogue/trails_mcloughlin.html
	or the same tiny: http://tinyurl.com/2vm6vj
it is only a 10 mile, moderate-difficulty round-trip, though 4000  
feet elevation gain.

Can anyone give me some advice on why not to climb Mt. McLoughlin or  
on what to pay attention to if I still want to try to climb it?

Many thanks,
Daniel
