I'm sure people do go up in the winter without an axe, likely because they do not own one.
I own one & would have it out if I was going up Flume Slide.
Most people in winter do these two peaks either by Osseo & F-Ridge (very nice BTW) or by Liberty Spring & F-Ridge. This would not be one of my first 1/2 dozen hikes while getting used to crampons. |
Mike,
Thanks for the advise. It looks like my buddy and i will be hiking East Osceola and Osceola Mt. instead via the Greely Ponds Trail and the Mt. Osceola trai, on Thursday, (at least thats the plan). I will post a report when we finish....
Can't wait i have been dying to hike since my Mt. Cardigan hike...., and haven't been to this area in a long long time....
