 | Comments: |
Conditions will surely change with more snow on Thursday but right now Greeley Ponds way up Osceolas is in prime shape. There is minimal ice that can be worked around in the difficult areas. There is an established workaround to avoid the ice in the notch between the peaks. Some hikers had crampons, some light traction. Would recommend an ice axe or whippet on the upper sections if going with light traction, but to each their own. |
