Date Climbed: Oct 31, 2009

What a fantastic way to spend Halloween! Beautiful, blue-bird skies, bright sun...cold and windy up top but surprisingly warm along most of the route. All twelve of our team made the summit! Partners: The "Collard Greens" CMC outing.

Foxy Long BottomsHells Hole  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009

On the way to Hell's Hole I looked for a good spot to begin the bushwhack up Gray Wolf. Trees were thick and I was solo so I continued out to Hell's Hole to hang out. Met a solo hiker who also wanted to hike Gray Wolf so we went together. We started hiking back along the trail and descended into the trees directly across from the low part of the saddle. Spacing in the trees wasn't bad, making for minimal whacking. It is easy to get turned around in there, especially on the hike out. Seemed like a good way to head up the peak and it was.

argothor4th of July  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2009

Started at Summit Lake and hiked up the rib of Spalding before heading off towards Gray Wolf. There was still a fair amount of snow on Spalding's northern slope which was melting fast causing the saddle between Spalding and Gray Wolf to be quite wet. After summiting Gray Wolf I then did Spalding and Mt. Evans. Beautiful day with only light fluffy, non-threatening clouds overhead.

Date Climbed: May 17, 2009

Climbed solo as part of a long ridge tour from Echo Lake - Goliath to Rogers to Warren to Spalding to Gray Wolf back to Echo Lake. Great warm spring day with plenty of sunshine! The road was still closed giving the place an eerie solitude.

Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2008

Clouds covered much of the top to the mountians in the front range. not the best views on top, and dang cold, yet warm in the valley below. Wonderful hike. Was good to finally reach the summit after failing to summit 3 years ago.

I started from Guanella Pass and started slogging through the willows in the Scott Gomer Creek drainage. The wind picked up as I ascended into the tundra. Beautiful bluebird day.

Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2007

Started from West Chicago Creek trailhead, aiming for Mt Evans and Gray Wolf Mountain. Was delayed due to "map" issues, so settled for Mt Spalding and Gray Wolf Mountain instead. It was still a 16.2 mile trek, although through beautiful country.

Great hike from Echo. Started Early and didn't see anyone until it hit the trail on the return. From that point on there was a constant stream of people but still nothing like Guanella Pass.

A long and satisfying day. Had a nap in the sun at 12,000' or so; couldn't ask for better. I even found my hat, just where I left it.
