A short stretch of ice going down right before you go up North Hancock -- no ice going up North Hancock itself. Ice between the summits. Ice from South Hancock down to intersection. Still need traction.
It was nice to meet Chris today, who is making his way through his first round of the 4Ks.
Alex forgot to write a trail conditions report...we got home hours ago...so I am beating her to it (sorry, kid). There will be a trip report on her blog within the week. |
