What does it take to prepare for an under taking like this?
Are the physical demands similar to Mt. Major?

Hardly.From the Pinkham lot its about 3 1/2 times the vertical of Mt Major (1200 vert).From the Auto road its about 4 times higher.The shortest hike is from Jefferson Notch Road at about 3200 ft gain.
