[pct-l] Canadian Crossing-SoBo

[Matt]

I will be NoBo this year, but I've got a friend whom does not use computers
planning on heading SoBo from Manning Park.  He was wondering what the first
stretch is like, heading down from BC towards skykomish/RT20?  He's going to
head out in about a month (horrible idea, I know, not my choice.).  So, any
info on conditions?  Difficulty?  Yogi's book hasn't arrived yet, so I'm
still in the dark about everything north of Yosemite.

Thanks,

-Matt
