gyselinck Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 As anyone hiked up the PCT? I was wondering how things were looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJScott Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I passed through the Catwalk on the 23rd and 24th of last month. I wouldnt have minded a rope to be honest with you. I think the picture explains the conditions of the catwalk pretty well. Our tracks may have helped compact it down a bit...but it was scary with skis in one hand, poles in the other and a big pack on your back! And if you plan to continue traveling the PCT for a while...be prepared for similiar trail conditions as soon as you leave the Ridge Lakes.

Alex Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I was up on Sunday, there is really not much snow until 1/2 mile to the Katwalk, at which point you encounter a well beaten trail the last little bit. No need for gaiters or anything up to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyselinck Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 I was thinking about going for a swim in the lakes up there. Such nice weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Just the trail to it, the Katwalk still has several feet of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
