 | Comments: |
Trails solidly trod to the junction of Greeley Ponds and Mount Osceola. Then very well tracked and packed up to the top of the slide on East Peak. The ridge walk to E. Peak summit had signs of drifting which loosened the footing in places but still fine for light traction. The walk over to the main summit similar in that it was well packed except for the occasional drifted spot.
Spectacular day with blue skies, some wind, strong sun at lunch time on the Main Peak to counter the cold --- ~10 degF. |
