| Comments: |
We only went up South Hancock and back down, two others in our party went up North Hancock, across the ridge and then down S. Hancock with us. There is very little snow left on the steeps of S. Hancock, we brought microspikes but didn't need them, the snow was avoidable and never longer than about 10 feet. Our friends said the snow on the ridge was still there and was unstable. It was a great day to be out in the woods, cool temperature and sunny. |
