 | Comments: |
Trail was generally dry, with the exception of the normal mudpits near the summit of Osceola and the slabs about 3/4 of the way up. The slabs are pretty tough, as they're angled and there isn't much room to get around them.
Fairly dry between the peaks. Very little dampness in the chimney.
Nice weather; stark contrast with two days ago! |
