[pct-l] ice axe for So Cal?

[metam01 at earthlink.net (Monty Tam)]

For San Jacinto????  Nothing.  Or if I have doubts, I'll carry 4 oz
Yaktrax, almost crampons, almost disposable...under $20 after 10% rebate
from that place that gives member rebates.
Ice ax??  I'll flip and/or flop and flip to the drought areas up north to
catch better water conditions.  As a result I'll get better High Sierra
snow conditions.
No ice ax.....................................yet

poles will be enough to get me through the San Jacintos.  Ive never hiked
the PCT before though so take this as an extremely informed opinion, Im
just not too worried about needing an ice axe in the san jacintos.
