[pct-l] Is it a thru-hike?

[Paul Magnanti]

It most definitely is IMO.

What you described is called a flip-flop or a 
"flip" for short..

Many people over the years on all the Big Three trails have done this method to finish their thru-hike.

Whether because of snow issues, timing, avoiding crowds or the simple answer of "just because", it is a
good way to get a thru-hike in.

Some people in the hiking community (esp the ONLINE hiking community) will debate
endlessly about what constitutes a thru-hike, purity and other inane issues and will
tell you not to HYOH but to  HMHDI... :)
