[pct-l] Sierra mountaineering classes

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Hi, Thomas!

We appreciate your desire to "Skill-up" by attending one of our free, Snow Course weekend trips. Your plan of doing the trip and carpooling down to the border to start your thru hike is quite common, really. Typically, hikers sign up for our April Courses and start coordinating the carpool down even before the class meets the first day!

All we need to know is when you want to attend and how many are coming, then we'll let everyone in your Course learn of each other via email and you can arrange the rest...

  Hi Ned,
   
  I am in the process of planning/preparing for 2010 pct hike thru.  I read all your posts on pct-l since joining about a month ago.  As I learn more about the pct, especially the Sierra section, I realize that I can probably navigate it just fine and survive, but I would rather be skilled and confident.  I would really love to take you class and appreciate you very much offering it.  I would like to come two weeks before the kickoff, take your class and then find a way to the start (Campo) a week before the kickoff...hike to Warner Springs and then hitch back to the kickoff.  I don't know if I can logistically pull this off but if I can I will.  If you have others who share a similar plan, please let me know.  I can share expenses!
   
  Thomas
