Obviously conditions will change with today’s snowfall… there was minimal ice on the steeps up East and rocks were all almost covered up.. still, I’d be hesitant if I was a butt sledder, those rocks may be hiding under just a few inches of light snow.. we used light traction on Greeley, switched to snowshoes at the junction of Greeley/Mt Osceola tr and kept them on until our steep descent of East.. bluecollar4K used crampons and I switched to K10’s.. both worked well.. be safe |
