Bad One on Madison

Accident and rescue on Mt Mad via Great Gulf…

I am truly amazed that there isn't an incident like this every weekend on trails like Osgood, a truly tedious path. I was on a really tedious trail last week on Medicine Bow Peak in the Snowy Range. Brutal boulder "hopping" during the final summit push. And this is at 12K feet. They don't use yellow paint out here to mark the rocks, just the occasional cairn. Long's Peak is the exception.

Tedious is a great way to describe those trails !

The Osgood Trail is one of my favorite trails in New England, especially the section above tree line.
