 | Comments: |
Showed up after Osceola's in the morning so we snuck into the last spot off the road. Quick and easy ascent and descent (3 hours 20 minutes). No major issues anywhere! The exposed area right before the summit is drifted a bit but not worth carrying snowshoes up (we carried them but never used them). We used light traction the whole time. If we get a more solid freeze I would recommend bringing along the crampons as there are some sizeable ice flows. We managed to bite into it today but it was soft. |
