 | Comments: |
Trails packed down to East Osceola but not beyond. Broke trail to Mt. Osceola in 12" of snow with many drifts over 2'. Some sections were already drifted over on the return.
Ascended using snowhoes and it was fine. I used snowhoes all the way down as well. Helle used hillsounds on the steep section. Workable with caution but neither were really satisfactory. Crampons recommended. |
