>>2052748Triple crowners almost entirely agree the AT is tougher than the PCT. The underfoot conditions on the PCT are much smoother than the AT. You've got proper switch backs and smooth trail. The AT was drawn up by some idiots who figured going striaght up stuff was the best way, and having you walking over roots and rocks for days.
The PCT doesn't need ladders as they have you on smooth horse graded trail the whole time.
>PCT 824,370 feet with an average of 309 feet/mi>AT 917,760 feet with an average of 420 feet/mi >sheltersIf you think rat infested lean tos are in any was a luxuary you're a strange person. It's nicer being in a tent. You can cowboy camp way more on the PCT then the AT which says a lot about conditions.
