2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

South Hancock & North Hancock (58-59 of 67)

Peaks 58 and 59 for this year would be South Hancock at 4,319 ft and Mt. Hancock at 4,420 ft. I hiked them on 11-22-14 on a day that started off sunny and gradually became more cloudy. The wind was averaging 6 mph and gusting to 13 mph which made the summit temperature of 19 degrees feel like 10 degrees. The hike was 10.1 miles with 2,264 feet of overall gain and 3,155 feet of total elevation gain.
