[pct-l] Women Trekkers

[Robert E. Riess]

Well said, Yogi.  Having hosted over 500 hikers over the years, I have 
learned a thing or two from them.  My most significant data point is simply 
this:  far and away, the demographic with the most success and the best 
hikers are the solo females.  They plan better, are more knowledgeable, 
condition better, hike within their means, and injure themselves less. 
Pound for pound they are stronger, and they manage heat and cold better. 
They are more likely to LNT. They do not have a testosterone problem.  The 
men should be taking advice from the women.  "The wise do not need advice. 
Fools will not take it."   Benjamin Franklin.  Good luck to the class of 
2014.  I have been happy to meet some of you in America's Finest City.  BR
