Hey Blister>Free,
>I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses, so let me be brief and echo what
will be the consensus I figure - "Yes."
Yup you were right. 3 emphatic yes responses. No "NO"s and 1 semi
off-subject response.
So that makes it 3-0 in favor. Anyway the responses I received were
excellent and does confirm what I gathered about the PCT gradewise and
toughness wise. Trading trail toughness for more sinister and challenging
types of toughness. It appears to be a very different type of long distance
hike than the AT. Not as terrain tough but tougher in a much more subtle
way - distance to water, types of environment, snow and fords and more
importantly more solitude. The AT was much more social. I look forward to
putting myself in granny gear on the PCT sometime in the near? future.
Regards,
Kenneth "Fire Marshal" Hee
