| shknbke | Kelso Ridge  Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009 | |
| Made a big loop on a bluebird day by going up the south ridge of Kelso, across Kelso Ridge to Torreys, over to Grays, down the south ridge of Grays to Ruby. Long day but avoided the huge masses of people on the trail. The knife edge on Kelso is fun, but too short! | |

| bechtt | Standard Route Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2009 | |
| Standard route up to the saddle to Torreys, then Grays. Lots of snow but some people were still in sneakers. As one trip report was titled, the road is tougher than the hike. | |

| Spent two days approaching from Loveland Pass in winter, the non standard routes up Grays and Torreys are great. | |

| tobe945 | Kelso ridge in winter Date Climbed: Mar 14, 2009 | |
| Me and Joe Miller headed up Kelso Ridge 03/14 and were met with a challenging climb. Lots of fresh snow on the ridge created powder conditions on rock slabs which was hard to scramble up. A few exposed traverses with 70-degree snow and only ~10 ft. to self-arrest if needed before accelerating off the mountain. Some cornicing on the knife edge and on other parts of Kelso. Summitted at 4 p.m. after 7 hours on the ridge. Was very technical due to conditions; one other party climbing beside us did it in about the same. Pretty cool to watch some skiers go down Dead Dog Cuoulior from the vantage point of the ridge. | |

| farrisgl | Nice return to Colorado Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2002 | |
| I lived in Colorado for several years and climbed Grays some years back. With a free afternoon while on a business trip and good weather, had the opportunity to do this peak. Only saw one other person on the Thursday afternoon a dn a few bighorn sheep. Nice climb on a nice day. | |
