 | Comments: |
Wore microspikes until steeper sections before first peak, switeched to snowshes on those steeps, which were icey and smoothed over from folks sliding down, just for the traction. Took the bypass to the bypass at Chimney both ways and found it worked well. Crampons for the descent from Osceola would have been really helpful. |
