[pct-l] RE: Traffic patterns



BLISTERFREE@delphi.com asks:  
      how many folks attempt/complete a PCT thru-hike in recent years?  

It isn't easy to get an exact number of attempted thru-hikes on the PCT but 
here are a few rough estimates:

1994- about 75 attempts, 30-40 completions
1995- about 75 attempts, 5-10 completions
1996- about 100 attempts, 50-60 completions
1997- at least 120 attempts (60 thru-permits issued by PCTA and 50 by          
          USFS)

While the number of PCT attempts is WAY lower than the AT, the success ratio 
appears to be much higher.
