Well Packed to 1/2 mile above Greely-Osceola junction, then some drifts becoming heavier on the ridgeline. Wore snow shoes most of the way. Managed the Chimney both ways in snow-shoes but crampons would have been a safer option. Snow on the way down was pretty fast and made for some interesting glissading. |
