 | Comments: |
Greeley pond trail has a nice snowshoe track only slightly unconsolidated. At the mt Osceola trail I followed a single set of ski tracks to East Osceola. While ascending I switched from snowshoes to crampons for the steep sections.The trail from East Osceola to Osceola was unbroken with approximately six inches new snow and extremely heavy drifts. Starting at chimney bypass I switched back to crampons until the summit. If hiking this route in the near future I highly recommend crampons for the steeps. |
