[pct-l] hiking and climbing gear

[johnvonhof at comcast.net (John Vonhof)]

You can also take some time and sign up at Tuolumne Meadows for a one or two
day climbing class, based on your experience level. I'd have some rock
climbing shoes sent to the Meadows post office. Lambert Dome, right at the
road, is a simple but fun climb up the water chute.
