Comments
Comments: Fine day for the Hancocks - all trails in good shape - we opted for the 'clockwise' Loop. Glad we did as the ascent to North on the steeps has tricking footing - plenty of loose rock & scree - would much rather ascend these conditions - the descent of South appears to be in better shape with more secure footing. :)
