 | Comments: |
The steep parts going up to E. Osceola were very slick. Grabbed a few branches that looked to be attached to there trees, but were actually cut and left by trail maintainers, got as many as I could tossed further off trail, but could cause a bad fall if more are there and attempted to be used. Some drifts below the Chimney, which itself had a big patch of ice on it. The bypass was in good shape. This hike kicked my butt! |
