Is anyone out there looking for a partner to do the JMT? My permit is dated for entry at Tuolumne Meadows on July 24th, and I’m planning for an 8-12 mile/day itinery.
I am a 33 yo graduate student at UC Berkeley, and find myself in the fortunate position of having the summer free for the first time since childhood, but unfortunately, my hiking friends cannot get the time away to join me. I tend to hike slowly and take lots of pictures, but have done plenty of hiking/backpacking in the Sierras (including Whitney but nothing longer than 4 days).
I hope to find a compatible hiker of comparable skill who would like to share this remarkable journey. Please email me if interested, and we’ll discuss. Happy trails!
