 | Comments: |
16/48 for my pup on a really nice day on the Hancocks. I barebooted to the start of the loop, televated my way up South, and then wore the snowshoes until I completed the loop. I appreciated the extra traction provided by the snowshoes, especially since I broke a finger during my last descent from these two peaks. :) |
