| What an amazing route! The scrambling encountered on the Grand Traverse is so solid and quality from start to finish. My roommate Dan and I had perfect September weather without a could in the sky, we only had a little bit of wind to deal with. Top 5 climbs. | |

| Niederbayer | Grand Travers Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2008 | |
| Dark clouds convinced me to skip the summit of Grand Traverse Peak and climb down to Bighorn Valley Dark clouds turned out to be a hail/rain storm from Vail all the way to Denver Crux was actually really not that hard - the 2nd gendarme after the crux offered a more thrilling downclimb | |

| castricone7 | 1 1/4 Traverse Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008 | |
| I believe we established a new route up a series of gulleys, cliffs, and talus slopes. This took us a bit longer than anticipated and we hit the ridge about 15 minutes to the right of North Traverse. Fortunately, we had great weather. The route-finding was my favorite part of this arduous journey. | |

| Somehow ended up climbing up a gully that topped out about 15 mins from N. Traverse, so we ended up repeating a part of the traverse. It was a fun traverse, but the hike out was hard on the knees. | |

| It snowed the previous night and stayed cold all morning under a shy sun. Made the ridge run more interesting though! We hit all but 1 of the gardarmes. Made for a more exciting day. Definately recommend this one for more experienced folks! | |

| Big Skies 808 | A Pair of Casey's Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2004 | |
| Summited with my boy Casey Reed. We tore it up but skipped three of the gendarmes. I shall return and bag those three when the time comes. Descended via steep scree running back into the Bighorn Creek Valley before I knew any better. | |
