| wbass | Grays/Torreys  Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2008 | |
| To say that a lot of people hike the Stevens Gulch route is an understatement! I started hiking at just before 5AM and I believe I was first to summit Grays that day (just after sunrise). As I descended to the Grays/Torreys saddle, I was amazed to see the ant train far below ... and they just kept coming up (even long after it was safe to do so). Grays was fun and easy to summit, though a bit underwhelming. | |

| hewitt | I finally made a 14er Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2007 | |
| In September of 2007, I made it up my first 14er. Gray's wasn't that hard to hike. It had some great views. It had a lot of people hiking it. I loved your picture. | |

| I am also a counselor on my down time from climbing. I took the clients up grays and torreys and they kicked butt. | |

| thexcat | 1st Co 14er Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2008 | |
| My first CO 14er. Got altitude sickness as I came from sea level. Amazingly, my brother who also came from sea level didn't feel the effects of altitude. Great hike to acclimatize to. | |

| habaceeba | Nice standard day Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2008 | |
| Nice day for a summit with a few new Colorado residents. We took the standard Steven's Gulch approach. The three, having been living here for only 2 weeks were surprisingly relentless in their determination. | |

| MollyL | Windy!! Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2007 | |
| Base camped the night before on a ridge around 12,000 ft...had to be the windiest spot on the mountain because it was even less windy on the summit! Live and learn...traversed over and got Torrey's as well! | |

| Gareth | On from Dead Dog Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| After climbing Torreys via Dead Dog Couloir, I continued on to Grays. Grays was...well, kind of boring...it does have a good view, however. Grays also turned out to be a new elevation record for me. | |

| Timothy Pearl | Fun in the snowy sun Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| Good times after doing Dead Dog up Torreys with Eric H and Mike B. Had a fun and fast glissade down... 1000ft in 15 minutes maybe? | |

| Sam Page | With Torreys Date Climbed: Apr 1, 1994 | |
| I forget the exact date. From the summit I nervously watched a mountain goat inspecting my pack, which I had left far below at the saddle. | |
