[pct-l] Newbie questions

[jameskendall at ekno.com (James Kendall)]

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on trekking the PCT in summer 2007 (thought I'd give 
myself a while to plan and train for it =op) and I have some 
questions which may be fairly obvious so I apoligise in advance. 
Anyways, I've looked at the PCTA website (seemed like a good place to 
start) and it seemed to suggest that the Sierra Nevada stretch 
require ice axes, crampons, etc. Is this true all year round? And if 
so does that mean I need to get some mountaineering training of some 
sort? More questions to follow in the future - hopefully when I'm 
better informed bout the trail and its demands, etc.
Thanks,
James Kendall
