[at-l] Benny Green's second AT attempt
Weary asks: Does everyone (anyone?) fall as often as did Benny Green and his friend?
The second year that we section-hiked in GA was a very wet year. I remember us falling quite a bit. Those were in the days when we carried one pole. I remember one slope where we fell on our butts and slid all the way down, nothing to get purchase on.
Since then, I usually fall once, maybe twice, each outing.
