Nice video of current conditions on the JMT and the impact of an early season snow


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I¡¯ve been following a group of three impressive women who have been doing the PCT this year , but in the last week they just completed a section of the JMT from Red¡¯s Meadow to Kearsarge Pass and posted a video of that section of their trip. ?The video shows how smoke is still present on the trail, but also towards the end of the video it gives you a feel for how an early season snow storm impacts the trail.

For their age, these women are amazing considering that they have previously completed the AT and CDT, and have completed the majority of the PCT this year. ?I hope I¡¯m in half as good of shape as they are when I get to their age (which is coming all to quickly¡­).

Here¡¯s a link to their latest video on YouTube of the section of the JMT they just completed: ?

Thanks,
Mike

They have been wonderful to watch. I caught some of their videos earlier in the season, when they were heading NoBo through Oregon. Splendid, warm attitudes!

If you want to jump forward to their most difficult day (Oct 8 cold and snowy and running short on food) use this start point.

Luckily the snow wasn't deep enough to drift too much so they made impressive progress under difficult conditions. It did drift knee deep for one stretch approaching Glen Pass but they didn't say for how long.?

I think I watched up until right before that point yesterday and had to go run errands - thanks for the bookmark John!

In the closing summary they said they encountered knee-deep snow drifts on the way up Glen Pass - looked like Type 2 fun.
