| Just missed a calendar winter summit on this one, but it was a rare almost bluebird Dec day! We started from French Gulch and enjoyed a nice track and left it before the east side of the nw ridge got too steep. The snow is very unstable right now as we heard many whumps and saw some shooting cracks along the ridge crest. The steep talus wasn't too loose as it was frozen together well. Added Mineral Hill on the way out for a sweet day! | |

| This time of year is always funny. We were freazing our rumps off on this mountain, then by the time we get to Denver, people are walking around in short sleeve shorts and we've got the windows down. I was pleasantly surprised at how much snow was on Guyot, esp. given how dry the Front Range is this year. What a wonderful, bluebird day! Partners: Dave "Mountain Demon's" CMC trip. | |

| All the usual cohorts were busy, so it turned into a nice solo day in the hills. I couldn't have asked for a nicer day in Feb...barely any wind, sunny....I'm still suprised by the lack of snow up high. | |

| Fun wintry day. Snow wasnt too deep and winds were manageable. Views from top spectacular. | |

| Was a very nice climb, although when I got into the gully, I opted to continue upwards instead of getting onto the ridge. There was alot of soft snow which I was trying to avoid, but when I attempted to gain the ridge higher up the gully, it was a mess of loose scree. Other than that, the rest of the climb was uneventful, although a bit windy at times. The weather was perfect, and I will be posting some pictures soon. | |

| big_g | East Ridge with a twist Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2008 | |
| I was expecting a lot more snow in the area but I arrived at night at the pass and it wasn't until the morning I saw the ridge was mostly melted clear. Getting to the last 100 feet was easy but that last bit required excavating soft snow before I could crawl over to the top. It had to be at least an hour before I made it. | |

| Climbed with Shanahan96 and Jamie Nellis from French Creek. As Jamie said, it took longer than expected but I think we were just enjoying being out and taking some long leisurely breaks to enjoy the day! | |

| Flawless day...bushwacked up the Northwest Ridge dirtectly to the summit ridge. Encountered some bulletproof snow near the top, but nothing snowshoes or crampons couldn't get up. Also, lots of rock exposed if those were (for some ungodly reason) not within your possession. | |

| I love this route!! I have been up this a couple of times in the past but had never documented any of the trips. Had to come back and get pics, etc. It is one of the most aesthetic and straight forward lines you will find. The ski descent is amazing as well. Highly recommended! | |

| My brother Paul, Ben and I followed the summer bike path from French Creek, gained the North Ridge and took it to the summit. It was a perfect day on a great trail. Found some great areas for backcountry skiing. There was also a huge avalanche debris field at the base of the mountian. | |

| Perfect day of climbing - the mountain was great - little windy on top but the summit cairn blocked most of it! | |

| Great day, short sleeve weather all the way to the summit. Guyot is a beautiful mountain which you can often have to yourself. | |
