[pct-l] picture of n. side of Forester Pass 2 weeks ago

Hi Ken!

I'm a newbie hiker/backpacker. How/where does one learn how to
"self-arrest" with an ice axe? I don't usually like going to the snow, but
I'd like to thru-hike the PCT at some point down the road and am trying to
figure out what I don't know and how to learn it. I appreciate any info you
can provide me.

Have a Great Day!

Cathy!

Something to think about: "Millions saw an apple fall. Only Newton asked
why."

This thread contains a great pic of the north side of Forester.  That is a
lot of snow.
