Summits: Osceola, East Osceola
Start/Finish: Greeley Pond TH
Miles: 6.89
Elevation gain/loss: 3451′
I was able to start from the Greeley Pond TH since the snow had melted sufficiently for the unplowed lot to be available. The water crossing half a mile from the trailhead was icy but there were rocks still visible to allow rock hopping. The steep section of the climb had some ice but nothing too serious. The wind was blowing a bit on the ridge and between the peaks, with snow flurries as well and the actual temperatures were in the high teens. I kept moving and stayed warm, and was able to make good time on the descent thanks to sharp spikes.
