Perzackly! Gonna try from rt50 to rt7. I need a drop-off at rt50, though. Not sure how to swing that. Have you done it? Will I die? I have a bum ITband issue in my left leg. Will I have to be medivaced?Originally Posted by Chicken Dinner

If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
I've done it in June the last two years from Snicker's Gap to Ashby Gap. (So, the opposite direction - Rte. 7 to Rte. 50.) It's reputation is well earned. If I can do it, you can. Two years ago, I was in worse shape and started out way too fast and about keeled over about half way up (aptly named) Buzzard's Peak. This past June, it was like hiking in a rain forest and I started cramping up on the last climb. I made it though. This was the first time I think Matt was actually worried about the old man. Winter, as long as it's not icy would be a good time to do it. The trails fairly rocky and uneven and I recommend good boots and hiking poles.
