Ascent Trip ReportAfter bagging Mount Osceola's main summit, my dad and I headed to the summit of East Osceola.
The section between the two peaks was generally steeper than the section from Tripoli Rd. to the summit of Osceola. I saw some kind of bird on the way, but didn't know what kind of bird it was.
Eventually, after some steep downhill hiking, we reached a fork. To the right was the chimney, and to the left was a bypass route. We decided to not go down the chimney because it was wet and slippery, so we took the bypass route, which was steep, but not as much as the chimney.
After passing the chimney, we began the climb to East Osceola. The trail ascended moderately to steeply to the summit, which we eventually reached.
East Osceola's summit is very wooded, which makes for less views. It is marked by a large cairn. Just as we got to the summit, four guys got there also. One of them claimed East Osceola as his 47th 4,000 footer. We got a picture of two of them at the cairn, and they returned the favor. I got some video and pictures, and we headed back to Osceola to begin the hike back to the truck.
