[pct-l] High Sierra Snow: Leaders and followers

[Sly]

You're blaming the guidebook and the list for your fears?  Hundreds of 
people here have hiked the trail without skipping  Bear Creek because 
it's described as dangerous.  You really can't know until you try.  Keep 
section hiking in the best of times, you won't have to worry.
