Started off about 26 degrees and clear sky's. Trail was icy so i put on spikes right away. About a 1/2 mile past the juct. there was about an inch of snow and when i hit the ridge the snow drifts were 12-18". The ice was very slick due to the fresh coating of snow. East Osceola was in/out of the clouds. 11degrees above 4000 feet this morning and a but breezy. I made it to the peak of Osceola just as the sun was starting to show light on the horizon. It was a great light show today and can't think of a better way to finish this peak for my grid. On my decent i saw a handful of hikers headed up for what seemed to be a great day shaping up on these two great peaks. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. |
