We thought Ozzy would be OK on this hike as it was billed as a class 2 route. As we neared the summit block it was apparent that it was more likely class 3 and so we opted to take it in turns to get to the top (as we do when we have Ozzy and the summit block is a scramble). I summited and noticed the weather was moving in faster than expected, and this is not a place to be in a storm. Erin correctly decided that today was not the day to summit, so we’ll be back again to get this one wrapped up. And we’ll bring helmets!
