 | Comments: |
We had to turn around before making it to the summit of E. Osceola. We were probably about a .25 mile away. The steep ascent was covered with thick ice. The group (13 people) was nervous about coming back down the trail so we turned around. Microspikes or Hillsound crampons were fine. |
