 | Comments: |
Great day up East Osceola and over to Mt. Osceola. I managed in microspikes only, but if you have crampons, I would recommend them. Slide has a couple very steep sections that are mostly ice. Chimney is completely iced and I wouldn't recommend unless you're an experienced ice climber with the right gear. There is a bypass around the bypass as well that takes you through the trees. Easily navigable. Temps in the 20s at highest with no wind. Awesome day! |
