Great conditions today. Bare booted to the loop and used snowshoes for the heal lifts up the steep section to north hancock. Got narrow as I reached to top of the ridge. Had to crawl a couple places up high. Kept the snowshoes on for the ridge walk to south hancock. The ridge was tight and narrow, with lots of spikey evergreen branches. Glad I was wearing eyeware up there.
Packed away my snowshoes on South and slid down the steep section and bare booted out. Fast and fun trail. Felt like Spring today. |
