 | Comments: |
After summiting North Hancock, traversing and summiting South Hancock without seeing hide nor hair of another human (save days old footprints) I was pleasantly surprised to be joined by Mark for lunch on top of South Hancock. After sharing some fettuccini Alfredo and rehydrating with some of Mark’s electrolyte solution we parted ways- but not before sharing some stories and laughs. Thanks for the company! |
