I'm doing a SOBO JMT starting on 6/15. I'll be doing a relaxed ~22 pace so I won't be hitting the higher passes until late June.
I'm concerned about the snow that's fallen in the last few weeks and wondering if I should take some traction assistance devices with me. I'm thinking the snow won't be solid enough for anything like Microspikes to be useful and I'm pretty sure the PCT herd (and earlier JMTers) will pound a nice trail for me.
I'd be very interested in any opinions about whether I should take some traction assistance with me.
