Hi,
My name is Heather. I was involved in this discussion group about a
month or two ago when I was at school and I got some wonderful feedback which
has helped me tremendously in planning my trip.
Now school's out so I've got a different e-mail address, but I've still
got a few questions regarding my hike. (I'll start at HWY 70, Belden bridge
and finish at Walker Pass).
First of all, I had assumed, this late in the season, that I wouldn't
need an ice axe but I read recently that one is needed in section H. Is this
true?
Since I've never experienced the climate in the High Sierras, I can't
decide if I should pack my lightweight thermals or midweight. Any
suggestions? (I'll also have a fleece and a parka).
I have a pair of breathable nylon pants but they aren't waterproof.
Will those do or should I invest in a pair of waterproof pants?
That's all I can think of for now. I would appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Heather
