| Water Crossing Notes: |
First 2 were open but rock hoppable, I veered towards right. Next 2 were frozen over but they aren’t strong enough to support weight. Again I stayed more right and crossed on rocks and one plank. Appears couple folks behind me broke through in a couple spots. Needs little more time to solidify |

| Comments: |
Wore spikes whole hike. Snowshoes not needed and would only have been doable between peaks, but were not needed. Down low to Hancock loop trail was nice and flat, most rocks covered. Only ice was under little snow on parts of trail that tends to have running water. No ice up north or down south, maybe 2-3 new inches of snow. No major drift areas between peaks. |
