 | Comments: |
The rocks were wet and slippery and the ice was significant. We had on micro-spikes for most of the Mt Osceola trail to the summit. The descent was a bit scary with the ice and steepness but with careful footing we only slipped a little. We bushwhacked through some of the steeper ice areas that might have been better with crampons. |
