    Perhaps others will comment, but I've used yaktrax on some fairly smooth trails with occasional root and rock. Even then I have had them break. This is still PA so there are a lot of rocks, but not as bad as some other sections. I wonder how well yaktrax would hold up. Of course 95% chance you not need them at all.

    But if they do break and you have some extra line you could probably fix them.

    I've found the standard yaktrax to be pretty well useless in PA. Kahtoola microspikes hold up much better, even in far worse rocks than this stretch.
