Comments: Add to previous report by Rick (Passed his group on way down I believe)--

Was in the clouds when I summited (looking for a sunrise) so decided to give it an hour or two and walked out to Middle Osceola. Nothing was broken past the summit area (at least recently) -- anyone interested in going up or down Osceola Trail on the Tripoli side will have their work cut out of them.

If following my snow track out to Middle take the right trail where it splits (around the start of the col area). Meandered a bit more than I should have on way out. Way back in is fairly direct and only gets caught up in the thick stuff for a brief stretch.

Summit container is good shape, could use another pencil soon if going out.

Clouds started to break and didn't want to fight my way out to West Peak so headed back for some great views and awesome sliding on the way down.

Go get it!
