[pct-l] Rope for spring stream crossings

[Devon Taig]

Though wide, it seemed to me that the crossings weren't in particularly
fast moving water. Not sure that 30' of rope would have helped. A
walking stick, the willingness to get your shoes wet ( you'll be much
more stable that way), and perhaps the patience to wait until morning
when crossing is easier are likely more important.

I've pretty much settled in my head that the 'infamous' Sierra stream
crossings are absolutely the scariest part of our hike. Particularily
concidering the amou t of runoff that will be running off.

Anyone ever carry a 30' 3/8" rope for safety?
