Comments
Comments: Decent trail conditions, some snow and ice (minor) between the summits and when on the peak approaches.
I chose the counterclockwise loop and am glad I did (South Hancock was an easy up with some minor snow/ice although I brought microspikes I didn't use them). North Hancock was an easy down (no snow/ice). Wet and muddy in spots, water crossings easy.
