I can say with confidence because I was able to try a couple this past summer. She has also taken on a huge role with the PCTA through northern Washington's North 350 Blades! She adopted a section of the Pacific Crest Trail just north of Stevens Pass and is going to lead her first trip this summer in the Glacier Peak area. To grasp the full transformation with Shannon and with me on this podcast! We have both come a long ways since last winter.
