 | Comments: |
The trail was well packed the whole way to North Hancock. Snowshoes with televators recommended for the ascent up North Hancock due to the steepness, but microspikes would provide enough traction.
The trail between the peaks was a little less obvious at times, but easy to follow. Trail down from South Hancock was back to the well packed trail.
Most people were wearing spikes, but no real post-holing at this point. Snowshoes will probably become more necessary with the upcoming warmer weather though. |
