Comments
Comments: The trail was broken up Greeley Ponds and about a third of the way up East peak. I broke out the remainder of East Oceola and across to the summit of the main peak (Oceola) Passed a couple other hikers that we're headed to East only. I used crampons to go up the chimney section since there was lots of loose snow over bare ice. Some of my tracks were gone by the time I returned, due to the wind, so the section between peaks is probably not very broken. Did my best.
