Welcome!My intent: Give you information that the average backpacker can relate to. If you are new to backpacking or the outdoors in general, this trail is probably not for you...even if you might be going with someone who has lots of experience. But, hey, there are always exceptions to every rule. Be informed and be prepared that this trip is not your average or even above average difficulty trek. This trip is still one of the more difficult in North America. It also might be helpful to you to know the person that is giving you some of the advice on this trek. I know it was for me when I was looking for information. General information about me: * 50+ Year Old Male (6', 170 lbs.) * Hiking and Backpacking for 25 years * Previous longest backpacking trip (4 days) * Previous longest trek (10 days) * General physical condition- excellent. Exercise (aerobic and weights) is part of my daily routine. * Have done several glacier/snow field climbs including Mt. Rainier in Washington state. * Generally, very comfortable on my own in the outdoors. My hiking partner: * 30 something male * Has done several glacier/snow field climbs including Mt. Adams in Washington state and trekking in the Himalayas. * Generally, very comfortable on his own in the outdoors. * General physical condition- excellent. * Previous longest backpacking trip (4 days) * Previous longest trek (30 days) |
