[pct-l] Baden Powel



One suggestion concerning Baden-Powell. The official PCT goes around the
mountain and never reaches the summit. That portion of the trail that goes
around it is very difficult in the snow. Very hard to find the trail.

If I had to do it over again, I would summit the Mt and then rejoin the PCT
on the other side...

> Three weeks ago there was still 3-5 ft of snow on the South facing Blue
Ridge.  Rt 2 was closed at Mountain HIgh West so unless they have opened the
road to Vincent Gap I doubt whether much of a trail is blazed to Baden
Powel.  Middle of March I did get a report  of 5 people attemptped to hike
up Rock Rd to Vincent gap and only one successfully summited BP and skiied
down with a slight injury.  So unless the road is open PCTers will be the
first to blaze a trail.
