Thanks so much!

Hiking is such a funny word as it connotates so many different things depending on the person.

I’d characterize Ossa as easy mountaineering due to the route finding, exposure and hazards involved—though scrambling also nicely describes where hiking and mountaineering start to blur. For me, the word “hiking” diminishes the complexity and the planning required to safely summit a peak such as Ossa.

I’ll never forget my first scramble. It was the southeast slide on Mount Colden, and I was hooked by the thrill and sense of accomplishment it brought.

We all start somewhere…

Be careful out there.

Biked in and out for an additional 26 miles, but that was on the ebike so they are like half miles. What a beautiful park. I saw almost all of it.
