[pct-l] Traction aids?

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good evening, Jerry,

I departed Kennedy Meadows 28 May ’07 in a low-snow year similar to this
one.  I didn’t carry any traction aids – except for the tread on a new pair
of sneakers – and I did OK.  Once or twice I may have used my instep
crampons if I had had them, but they certainly weren’t necessary for me
that year.

Enjoy your hike,

Steel-Eye
