Trails all packed, barebootable until the steeps begin.
We used microspikes going up the 0.7 miles to North Hancock and had a difficult time of it. Two steps up, slip, fall over, slide five feet down. Repeat. We made it, but it wasn't easy. Crampons would probably have done the trick.
Trail between peaks is packed, but low, snow-covered branches reach across the trail from both sides and snag anything on the outside of your pack.
Doing the loop clockwise, we noticed two forks in the snowshoe path. At both places, take the right. The other ones are dead ends (and one puts you in the river).
