 | Comments: |
I wore snowshoes car to car. Could have easily barebooted up to the start of the climb. Trail is very hard packed. Greeley Pond trail has seen alot of traffic. There was one section that appeared very icy but there is a descent path up the left side to avoid most of it. Between East and Osceola the trail is choppy and unconsolidated. The descent was slow do to the lack of snow. I am not as brave as the butt sliders who came before me. |
