I have had my heart set on bagging the Hancocks during this calendar winter, in part to take advantage of the improved views, and the buttsliding or Swiss bobbing on the way down. Due to changing jobs, family schedules, being sick, etc., I've been unable to make it any of the advertised trips.
So, if you are still in need (or want) of the Hancocks this year, please PM me with availability and we'll see if we can sync up. There are two full weekends left, plus I have one 'get-out-of-work-free card' I can use in the near future.
My summer-time hiking speed is about 1.6 mph, and winter-time is closer to 1.25. In both cases I average just below 500 vertical feet per hour. Pace is TH to TH including all stops. I prefer to go earlier and be home earlier.
