[pct-l] for hikers with extensive backpacking experience

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

There was the day when we charged $100/person/day to guide backpacking 
adventures up, down, and across the
Sierra year 'round ('80s and '90s). If this is what you're willing to pay, 
go for it.

Remember, our Snow Courses are FREE for three days of power-packed, on-snow 
skills training!
