Monica and I did the loop clockwise. Spikes to the base of the steep climb up to Hancock. Snow shoes from there to the summit. The trail was hard packed but the heel lifts were awesome. Monica barebooted from Hancock back to the car. I wore snow shoes to South and then barebooted the rest of the way back to the car. Did some sledding down from South Hancock. |
