[pct-l] Crampons and Postholer Snow Forum

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Hi, Abigail!

I would like to, first, refer you to our "Preparation, Safety, and Snow 
Travel" Forum over at Postholer.com. In there you will read an at-length 
description of the daily realities of Spring over-snow hiking in the High 
Sierra and the need for snowshoes, traction aids, and crampons. If you have 
any further questions, feel free to contact us. We teach just this subject 
every winter for free.
