Curious about doing a thru hike. I will not be able to being tell around July 14th. Should I start sobo? Maybe flipflop starting at Harpers Ferry and heading Nobo? Is it to late to think about a thru hike? All advice will help, Thanks.

Could I start a SOBO thru hike on that date? YES

Can you? Probably but I don't know you. If you average 15 miles a day you will have no problems. I would advise against flip flopping starting that late.
