[pct-l] 1975 snowshoers photo

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Based on the picture, these guys were going to use snowshoes through 
somewhere, but where did they go and how did it all turn out?

We used smaller, Sherpa Designs snowshoes into the Sierra around the middle 
of April, but their design was so poor (still out there) that they shredded 
in the early morning ice and fell apart. The MSR line of snowshoes is 
designed right.
