| Dan Dalton | Awesome Views, Nice Climb  Date Climbed: Dec 9, 2006 | |
| Snow at the bottom of was quite deep! However the snow became more ice like and harder near the top, occasionally having large spots where the was no snow at all. Very Very Windy. Did this solo. Dan | |

| The day started well enough, but increasingly high winds made the ridge traverse a pain. C’est la vie. The views were great and the climbing was straight forward. ---- 1/15/11 - A fun climb with my wife and two others. The conditions were great on the way up, but the wind howled on the descent. My wife was a champ in both spirit and performance – I was very proud. She’s excited for future ascents. | |

| Did this as a training hike for Holy Cross. Hiked with about 30 lbs untill Grizzly's peak saddle. Dropped the weight and ascended. Nice short hike easily bagging 2 thirteeners. Great hike, loved it. | |

| I've been on Grizzly in Summer, Winter and Spring. It's a great spot from which to have a look around. | |

| Tried to skin up from Loveland Pass. Finding continuous snow was difficult and what snow there was had a terribly punchy wind crust. Ended up bailing on my skis for the final climb up to the summit. Beautiful weather though. | |

| I did the Loveland Pass approach which was pretty beautiful. The views are awesome from the very start and keep getting better the further up the ridge you go. I started at 5:45AM, it was 40 degrees which was a nice break from the oppressive heat down in Denver. The amount of drainages, peaks, and ranges you can see from this ridge is staggering. I summited at 8:30 and was back in my car by 11:00. It was definitely a challenge but a great way to start the hiking season. | |

| What a great winter peak! Pretty tiring after sitting on my butt for half of winter. | |

| Climbed Grizzly and Point 13,117 on a very nice day. Met no one on the climb except for 5 big horn rams that blew by me and went right up Grizzly. | |

| A nice winter day on the divide. No wind and just enough snow to make it scenic. Summited around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Jon | |

| Most of the time the summit was in the clouds - but I had nice views of the Loveland Pass area during the hike. Good 1/2 day round trip. | |

| umbra alta | Route Climbed: North west slopes from Sniktau connecting ridge Date Climbed: March 2003 | |
| Climed this in winter conditions in March. High wind, drifts and blowing snow. Made the last steep bit to the summit somewhat treacherous. This is a strenuous climb and a good conditioner/acclimatizer due to the up and down nature of the ridge. | |

| Great hike. More wind than I've ever seen. Saw at least fifty avalanches on the surrounding slopes. Fortunately there weren't some on the trail. Spectacular scenery for a spectacular day. | |

| This is an excellent stroll above timberline at any time of year, with easy access (provided Loveland Pass isn't closed for avalanche blasting or plowing). It is also a great beginner's hike to expose them to the mountains as well. An added bonus is that you get to climb two ranked 13ers, the other being the unnamed 13,117' Point a mile north of Grizzly. Early in the summer, be careful of cornices that may hang ofver the east facing slopes to the left of the ascent ridge. | |

| Awesome day! Hit Grizzly on the way to Torreys. Weather was near perfect, very little wind. Ice axe and crampons were needed. | |

| The day started with no visibility, light snow and some wind. The further I went the better it got. I summited with no wind, no snow and only a few very high clouds. The views were great. | |

| Four of us climbed the 4 hour round trip to the summit of Grizzly Peak. It was a windy day up on the ridge. | |
