[pct-l] Kennedy Meadows, Drop Box, Pack List

[Phil Newhouse]

SteelEye,

Would the screw solution be an adequate substitute for crampons for the
PCT?

What size screw do you use?

What driver do you take?

I was thinking about carrying screws/driver if the screw solution would be
adequate as a traction device for the major parts of the PCT.
