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

[robin smith]

Below is the quote from the blog.  The gentleman did not fall at Kendall Katwalk but further on above Alaska Lake.  These are both locations where one must pick their steps carefully.

 

"began my traverse around the north side of Alaska Lake. I was silently running with a big running induced grin on my lips when I heard someone yell “HELP!”"

 

It is immaterial at this point but Kenkall Katwalk is a cliff.

 

Also, how do thru riders get around Chikamin Ridge whre it is posted no pack animals and the section between Cathedral Rock and Deception Pass, also posted?
