| SarahThompson | 2x  Date Climbed: Mar 20, 2005 | |
| 3/20/05 - Snow was falling heavily and it was dark on the way down: "Man, those lights down there that we're walking toward seem so much further away than they really are...oh crap that's I-70, not Loveland Pass." Kind of an epic in the "early days". 1/26/13 - Loveland Pass-> "Cupid" -> Grizzly -> Torreys -> Grays -> Stevens Gulch | |

| I've gotta say, today Grizzly Peak lived up to its name in full force: GRIZZLY. Insane winds sandblasted us with ice crystals from start to finish. Fortunately, we reached the summit during merely high winds. Suddenly, the wind kicked up a notch and we donned our backs and descended. The scenery was drop-dead gorgeous. The return trip over endless humps in cold horizontal winds quite honestly crapped me out. I was admittedly happy to reach my warm truck for the drive home. Hiking partners: John K's CMC trip. | |

| This was my 6th time climbing Grizzly. Half of those were in the winter because of easy access from Loveland Pass. | |

| MountainHikerCO | with Torreys Date Climbed: May 16, 1992 | |
| This was my first climb of Grizzly. I approached from Loveland Pass and continued on to Torreys. The weather was brewing so I descended to Stevens Gulch trailhead. I was then fortunate enough to get a ride from there back to Loveland Pass. | |

| Cold clear day, snow is not deep yet. Climbed with Ray E. Hadn't been at elevation for quite awhile so both of us were pretty gassed by the end of the day. Need to do this more often! Loveland Pass. | |

| I hadn't climbed anything in a year due to various reasons, so I found out that I was not in the best of shape, but was still fun. | |

| winterfae | Loveland Pass Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2007 | |
| Got an early start just around 4:30 am, summited by 6:20 am and enjoyed the beautiful 360 views as long as I could stand the cold wind. The ups and downs on this hike keep the heart rate up going both directions, but it's definitely worth it and a great way to start the morning. Back to the car by 8:30 am keeping us just at 4 hours and at work by 9:30 am. Gosh I love living here! | |

| Left the pass at 6:00am, reached the summit by 8:30. Continued on to Torrey's and made my second summit of Grizzly by noon on the return from Torrey's. This made for a long day (10 miles round trip), but a nice way to celebrate the 4th. | |

| Chad Couch | Great day... Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2007 | |
| Five hours round-trip from summit to car (includes 30 minutes on the summit). Much less windy up at Loveland Pass than the previous week. Climbed alone and had the summit to myself. | |

| Fun climb, great views, but the sun reflecting off the snow felt like an oven. | |

| What can I say? Great views. A straightforward climb done in 6 hours roundtrip at a liesurely pace. Afternoon snow showers made for an interesting descent. | |

| 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 | |
