Is it possible to slack pack the entire section between Mt. Rogers HQ and Pearisburg? Wanted to do this section in February and thought about slacking the entire section if possible.

Although my wife, Seminole, didn't slack, I did pick her up / drop her off on all the relevant days over this section while she was on her thru hike this summer.

Here are the points we used:
The Scales -> (18.7)
Route 672 -> (18.5)
VA 729 -> (21.5)
USFS 222 -> (18.5)
VA 615 -> (20.2)
VA 608 -> (17.6)
Big Horse Gap -> (12-13)
Pearisburg

There are many other options although in all cases I think the support vehicle would want to at least be high clearance with chains in February and of course a close eye kept on the weather.

Best of luck, White Jeep
