Re: Thru hiking the PCT in winter
Former coworker was doing it in sections over several years. We went our separate ways and I never heard if he finished or not. Last I heard he had completed northbound to about Crater Lake.

Some guy did it way back in the 1930's (?) I believe someone wrote a book about it. Maybe Markskor has it in his extensive libraryJohn Harper wrote:I always wondered if anyone had done the PCT in winter. Wow.

Dang, that book is expensive. I kept scrolling through the various bookseller links until I found one for $16 from the Central Sierra Historical Society.
