 | Comments: |
The Monorail held me just fine for 95% of the time (150lb male) where as my friend was postholing left and right (220lb male). Definitely have some sort of crampons or micro-spikes as the snow gets steep and is just not enjoyable without (yet doable if you have some snow hiking experience). Very nice day, Osceola Peak is gorgeous, East Peak is a bit disappointing, no real lookouts. With the right traction, not too difficult to hike. |
