[pct-l] for hikers with extensive backpacking experience

[Marcia]

>From my November Adventure Mag Issue, page 54:

Thru-hike the Sierra with Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides and Andrew Skurka, on the 195 mile Sierra High Route. Price: $6,495, Length 26 days (or $250 per day for 7.5 miles per day). Limit 6 hikers.

Steve Roper, the SHR "route founder" says in his guide intro that he really considered pros and cons before he wrote his guide; he wanted the High Route to remain pristine. I hope a party of eight hikers camping every 7.5 miles, on average, treads lightly.
