| Comments: |
The weekend butt sliders had polished the steep parts, so descending E Osceola to Greeley Ponds Trail was tricky in sharp Hillsound Trail Crampons. Up in MicroSpikes was okay. Down in partial or full crampons would have been safer.
The Chimney didn't have quite enough snow for me to attempt it, but now I regret not trying it in Hillsounds.
Trail towards Tripoli Road looked tracked. |
