 | Comments: |
We were able to get about .5 from the summit of East Osceola, but the trail was too steep and the postholes were absolutely dangerous and ridiculous the further up you went. I did see two people who summitted, but I just couldn't deal with the postholes. The trip down was worse than the trip up! Slipping and sledding on your backside. I'll come back when the snow is gone. |
