Comments
Comments: A very enjoyable hike with good views from the overlook on Mt. Hancock. Didn't throw on spikes until the Hancock-So. Hancock junction, there were some patches of ice before this but they were only 5-10ft long as were quite sporadic, didn't bother putting them on and taking them back off again. Past the junction they were very useful however.

A pretty easy 4000fter for a less strenuous day. Didn't have any problems until I stepped on one of my trekking poles...
