Hi, Im new to this list and planning a 2004 thruhike of the PCT. I thruhik=
ed the AT in 2002 with a pack under 11 lbs, so Im not new to long distance =
backpacking, but I understand there are a few key differences between the t=
rails. I have just ordered the guide books and wondered if any other book =
might be useful. I have one restriction in my plan - I must finish by late=
August since I plan to attend grad school. I can start anytime (was think=
ing mid to late april). Is this possible? I have the Sierras are not pass=
able without crampons etc. until mid June. Is this true? I appreciate any=
advice you have have to offer...and im sure ill have more questions in the=
future.
Thanks,
Paul
