Summitted Bancroft via the se ridge and while at the top, I wondered if the snowy peak just west might offer a better view. Upon reaching the top, I realized that this indeed was the case. The view was stupendous and unobstructed from Evans and Bierstadt, to the northern Sawatch, Gores and up to the Indian Peaks and past Longs Peak. A nice, moderate hike with terrific views in all directions. Highly recommended.
