[pct-l] Hiker fell from PCT north of Snoqualmie Pass...

[Tom Griffin]

I just want to confirm what Eric said. The fall was AFTER the Katwalk 
and Ridge Lake, heading north toward Park Lakes and Spectacle Lake. I 
was hiking up there Thursday and talked to some backpackers who heard 
the helicopters in the middle of the night. I doubt that anyone could 
survive a fall from the Kendall Katwalk. Be sure to read the blog 
entry--the guy who saved James is a real hero.

Saw two southbound thruhikers at Ridge Lake but didn't catch their 
trailnames. They hope to finish at Campo by mid-October.
