I'm etool- I started this profile before I had a trail name.
Finally setting up my section hike to knockout the Georgia section in spring 2020, and was looking for input, suggestions, and hopefully not many insults on whether Amicacola to Standing Indian would be doable in 12 days without killing myself. I'm not new to hiking or backpacking, you may have seen a crazy Floridian, snow camping in GSMNP for a few winters ago! But its been awhile since I've gone on anything other than an overnighter or 20 mi and less flatland walking , and its not like I have alot of elevation down here in Florida. I'm going to be starting a training circuit here soon.

I looked up the GA AT club's FAQ, and they said its possible in 8-9 days but they had a 12 and two 15 miler's on there. I learned my lesson hiking up to Mt Collins shelter from Elkmont a few times that those long up days can slow you down. I've never hiked on that section of the trail before, given the trail conditions, water availability, and elevations; what do you think?
Luckily spring won't be that cold so I can lighten the load!
