[pct-l] PCT Section D - Ice Axe Recommended?

[Donna "L-Rod" Saufley]

I asked folks coming in who have been over Baden Powell.  It's doable without an ice axe, but some felt more comfortable with one.  Entirely a personal choice, based on your own comfort level and abilities with snow travel.  You can count on there still be snow on Baden.
