Me and Colin passed Scott as we ascended east osceola, didn't see anyone else the rest of the day on the osceola trails. Saw 5 people on our way out on the Greeley Ponds trail.
Trail is packed well for the entirety of the hike. Some small drifts near the peak of Osceola due to wind, but only filled in some footprints, nothing major. Micros were perfect for the entire hike except the chimney itself. Used G10s and did the chimney ascent without much issue, but took the bypass on the way down. The chimney bypass is fine for ascent, but a little tricky to descend near the bottom.There is also a chimney bypass bypass that takes all risk out of that small section of trail.
Great day, great views, great conditions. Can't complain. |
