[pct-l] thru hike

[JoAnn]

to follow up, the AT community debates this often. The ATC has some
criteria for the designation of a hiker as a 2000-miler, but not
specifically for a thru-hiker.

I agree with the AT’s definition.

When I came on board with the list about 12 years ago, I think I always heard a thru hike as Mexico to Canada or the opposite direction; with days taken off (zeros or whatever you call them; “zero” was not a term used 12 years ago); somewhere between spring and fall; covering the entire trail (as it was laid out that specific year).

are we there yet
