Comments
Comments: Other than having some wet/mud patches, the trail was in good shape with not much snow until close to the slide. After the slide the monorail was off and on but pretty much avoidable until hitting the ridge line. After that it was spikes on and off until summit and we pretty much kept them on until hitting the chimney (which was clear of snow and just a little wet). Then again spikes off and on until summit on Mount Osceola. It was the same on our backtrack and we ended up keeping them on until the slide. Beautiful day to be out.
