Started in the Greeley Pond lot. -3 when I got there. Wore micro spikes 3/4 the way up to East Osceola. Switched to crampons. Not much wind till I got to the ridge between East Osceola and Osceola. No problem getting past the chimney. Just went off to the right side. All trails were covered nicely with packed snow. There was a dusting the previous night. Got to the top and the winds were light, the sun was out with a few light clouds. Views were beautiful. Did a little butt sliding on the way down.all in all a great day! |
