It came into play because everyone who had hiked it that I had spoken to 
(about three dozen hikers - some thrus and some sections) confirmed by 
everything I've seen written about it said that it is undoable in any sort of 
adverse weather (rain or ice) and that on a clear day it was easy to lose 
your balance and fall to your death so you needed to scrape your body along 
hugging the rocks.  None of it was true, that was why I mentioned it.

The place in New England (name escapes me at the moment) where you squeeze 
between the boulders and the ideal height to navigate it is about 4 foot 
nothing is likely to prove more challenging when my 6 foot 2 inch frame gets 
there, but I don't plan on worrying about it til I get there in 2009 or so 
and see it for myself.

Hike happy -
