Started the Hancocks at 5 AM. We set out with our K10s on and continued the entire day with them on. The Hancocks are very well packed and between peaks has slight drifting and unconsolidated snow. Tons of traffic today with many snowshoes so trail should be in perfect shape. Finished the Hancocks around 10 AM and headed over to the Osceola’s where we kept the same traction and it was perfect for the entire day. We’re very glad to have them on the ascent in decent. Hitched a ride with a nice gentleman back to our car around 3pm. |
