Greeley Ponds Tr is packed firm to jct with Mt Osceola Tr. MOT is packed to the point of the large rocks at the base of the cliffs and then loose base up to the first lookout just below East Osceola summit. Needed crampons for the section which bypasses the chimney. Snow is unstable in this section. Wonderful clear views on Mt Osceola summit, blue sky, enjoyed lunch on top followed by butt sliding on the decent. |
