 | Comments: |
Peaceful evening hike of the Osceolas. First trace of snow shortly before GP and Mt Osceola Trail. Upper elevations had approximately an inch plus. Rock spikes on at 3600 feet on the ascent and off at 3500. there was a mix of bare ground,ice glazed rocks and frozen granular ice. I ascended the chimney which had just spotty sections of ice. the bypass was similar. |
