| Comments: |
I hiked to East Osceola hiking MSR snowshoes, that worked out pretty well. My friend switched to crampons when it got steep. Very icy in spots. There is a layer of snow covering ice. Tough going in some places. On the way down I started out in microspikes, then changed to crampons, which was a little overkill. |
