No kidding. I'd be interested in reading his account of the "adventure" and what went wrong and what he'd do differently next time. Good beta and all that...

Apparently all you need is enough food to make it through trails that have been buried in snow lol.gif

Must have been one heck of a slog. So, did he give up or press on??

From what I understand, he walked into Stehekin. Sounds like he pressed on and didn't give up. Good on him! Having hiked that section this past August, I can well imagine having a very difficult time findng the trail if much snow dumped on the high country. It took him over two weeks to finish a section that under normal circumstances takes only a week. I would say Ian (I'm Fine) did well surviving. Rumi

I meant did he finish his hike? So near, yet so far - unless he found some skis and snowshoes. smile.gif

Been wondering myself whether he pressed on or called it done.

Life is short so live it well.

I read on the FB page that he was planning getting a gps and two other hikers were going to meet him and finish the trail with him.

Get back on the horse and ride, I guess... At least he's updating equipment and going with someone else as well - being safer than the last leg.
