If Skurka is guiding the Sierra High Route it¹s not going to be next year as
he is doing this:  http://andrewskurka.com/AK10/index.php

>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.
