We had a group of three and got together with three other great guys to do the wack to the summit. It was definitely good to have a large group as it is a STEEP and TOUGH whack. Conditions were fast, with three to eight inches of powder over a consolidated base, except the bushwack, where those conditions it was quite slippery. Norcross Pond was quite frozen and we walked it for easy travel. Great hiking with Jason B and Brent. This is my second time hiking Nancy in wintry conditions and it is definitely a tougher hike than the miles and elevation suggest. |
