[pct-l] cheap sledge/sleds

[Mtnned at aol.com (Mtnned@aol.com)]

On steep descents, the best way down is to lower the sled by rope 150' and  
glissade down to it.  On moderately steep descents, long traverses with the  
rudder down is a fun rush! Ascents which cannot be pulled are top roped  up.
 
My Kifaru sled made by Patrick Smith of Mountainsmith (before he sold it)  
can carry easily what it takes four men to lift on dry trail.  I'll bring  it to 
our Booth at Trail Fest.
