| MountainHikerCO | Waldorf  Date Climbed: Sep 20, 1992 | |
| This was my first time climbing Edwards. I then went over to McClellan and returned to Waldorf Mine trailhead. I also did Edwards 10-3-92 from Horseshoe Basin trailhead in a circle including Ruby, Grays & Argentine Pass. On 6-15-02 I did Grays and Edwards from Stevens Gulch to complete getting Edwards from each side and being on each ridge. | |

| cftbq | east slopes, north ridge Date Climbed: Oct 13, 2007 | |
| Squeaked in a last climb before serious snow flew. Climbed from the Waldorf Mine. A cloudy day, but relative mild. Felt good to get another Divide thirteener. | |

| Last centennial of the year for me as we combined Edwards with McClellan, Argentine, Wilcox, and Otter. Last day w/o signicant snow as a big front was coming in. | |

| Cool weather and lots of low hanging clouds made for an interesting hike. Felt bad about taking the summit away from the family of resting goats! | |

| mtelbertman | from Waldorf | |
| took it from Waldorf mines on the eastern side of Argentine Pass, I gained alot of weight in a very short period of time prior to this climb, wanted to go over to Argentine but storm clouds were building. DAAAAARN. Ran back down before it started to rain, still got wet though | |

| Gahugafuga | SW slopes Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2006 | |
| From Argentine Pass trailhead. Getting up the Argentine Pass trail was more tiring than expected due to endless traversing of still firm snow slopes that didn't allow for good kick steps. Winds up on the ridge were also tiring. Intended to do an Edwards/McClellan/Grays/Ruby circuit but only got the first two. | |

| doumall | Edwards and McClellan after Kelso Ridge and Grays Peak Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2006 | |
| My buddy Jon and I completed a fun loop of Grizzly Gulch bagging 3 ranked peaks. Kelso Ridge to Torreys, saddle to Grays, saddle to Edwards (class 2 with 3 options), down the ridge over McClellan to a scree gully descent back to Grizzly Gultch TH. Great loop to avoid some crowds and lazy class 1 trails. | |

| A beautiful, long day above treeline the whole time. I was amazed at all the wire and "mining stuff" up on the ridge. | |

| Ryan Kowalski | Great beginner peak Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2000 | |
| At least from Waldof Mine, this would be a great non-crowded beginner climb. Really windy on this trip! | |

| altitude14er | West Ridge via Stevens Gulch Trailhead Date Climbed: Nov 6, 2004 | |
| I climbed this mountain with my freind Mark (aka "asphazel") on a chilly, windy day. We only saw two other climbers the whole day. The West Ridge is a fun route up Edwards and had me reminiscent of a prior trip up Grays and Torreys. I would imagine the West Ridge develops some avalanche pockets later into the winter season. | |

| crzyjt | Route Climbed: west ridge from stevens gulch TH Date Climbed: July 10, 2005 | |
| Went with some friends that wanted to do Grays. I'd already done Grays, so I split off just below the summit and hiked the ridge over to Edwards. About 10 to 15 goats kept forcing me to drop down to the south side of the ridge, which was a bit annoying. | |

| Foxy Long Bottoms | Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: 9/16 | |
| This would be the perfect ridge to take someone on who is interested in getting into ridge traversing. Staying on the trail makes the route true at 2+ but we opted to stay on top of the ridge as much as we could, getting into some good class 3. I guess Grays gets all of the attention because its a 14'er but Edwards is far more fun. Saw lots of gullys on the Peak. I'm wondering which ones fill up with snow. | |
