i still would not say these people did the ptarmigan traverse. the traverse as i read it, includes the mountains and not just the trails. we are definatly debating semantics here, but still being correct and accurate is key.
again these peoples one day feats are impressive, but nowhere as impresssive as the original traverse.
as an author jason, i would think you would be staunch on the actual traverse and not the long hike. traversing in my mind, would to stay high as possible tagging everything i could
klenke!! good tip on hiking with females!!!
