Hey everyone. I am thinking about a Thru-hike (not this summer, but in years to come) and I was wondering what the trail is like. I am wanting to do it NOBO around June or July. I would like to do it by myself. Here are some of my questions:
- How many people are on the trail at this time? I want to do it around the same time as the PCT people are going through.
- Is it reasonable to do it alone? Is it safe? Or should I find someone to go with me? I'm wondering if I'll find a buddy along the way... or not.
- How difficult is it to get a permit?
- How would one train? I have never climbed a mountain before and I don't really want Whitney to be the first...
Thanks, you guys!
