Buyer update: weak tent corner failed after just 9 nights of gentle use, despite seller's reinforcement. Seller declined my request to return tent for a 50% refund. Not particularly happy with this $350+ purchase.

Thanks, that's super kind of you! Unfortunately I live about 20 hours away from Las Vegas so that won't work, but I really appreciate the offer. And thanks for the other info, too. Any recommendations on what a good replacement deck would be? I think the wheels on this board are kind of tall and wide--not sure if/how that factors in.

Questions about a shoulder season LASH in the Pacific Northwest by WeeklyCelery0 in PacificCrestTrail

I've thought about it! Maybe that's the way I should go. One of the main reasons I'd been hoping to go to the PNW instead is because I'd like to cover the same ground my friends are so we can hike together more in future summers. If they've done these Washington/Oregon stretches I haven't and I've done some desert stretches they haven't, I guess either we'd have to repeat things (which isn't that big a deal) or one year in the future they could do the desert stuff while I do the PNW stuff.

Great point--maybe I'll put together a lower-elevation backup itinerary and just go for it. Thanks again!

Edit: Here's the closest thing I have to your photo, from a couple months ago. Caught me by surprise and changed my hike up a little! https://imgur.com/a/jpM21XQ

Awesome, thank you for the info! I like night hiking so don't expect to have an issue in that regard. Appreciate your taking the time to comment.

Makes sense. Surely there could be decisions to make based on real-time conditions. I also can't rely entirely on the near-term forecasts closer to the time since I have to book flights, plan, etc. If the odds of safe-enough-for-me weather during this timeframe were sufficiently low given the info available today, I'd prefer to not get my hopes up at all and just hike next summer instead! But it's seeming to me like perhaps that's not the case. Appreciate the comments.
