 | Comments: |
Hancocks proved a good choice today as higher summits mostly socked in,,We had some spitting rain and it was cold and windy on summits..actually brought out the gloves for a bit. Trails by and large in decent shape..Ridge Trail mud pits starting to form though we crossed unscathed..Water crossings were low and easily managed..Climb up North rough and eroded in spots but fine..Descent from South was in better shape than I remembered and that tricky blowdown half way down was cut...good day out |
