Kane,

Beautiful work on the Grizzly Peak page. I seem to have fallen into the trap of forgeting about the Sawatch! It ain't all crowded overpopular fourteeners! Nice photos too.

So many Grizzly Peaks, so few grizzlies.

Very good information, on a beautiful mountain. I understand this Grizzly Peak used to be considered a fourteener, but is now merely the state's highest thirteener.

	Voted 10/10	Hi Larry, thanks for the vote. I climbed Grizzly a while ago and remember it to be a nice hike to a nice Sawatch-type summit. I also remember some erosion issues on its lower slopes. This is one of those mountains that may need some future help with the construction of a minor trail to its summit. Since then I have discovered a few different routes that i may one day use to summit this one again.

I know you recently adopted this, but I just realized while looking at it that I've never voted on it. I was up there today and had the mountain to myself.

It's an impressive peak when viewed from McNasser.

	Voted 10/10	I hiked up to the old mining area at the end of the road. From there I made my way through the willows with ease and made a rising traverse to the small rock band above the grass slopes. I passed through it and made my way up the loose stuff to the saddle. From there I found the trail to the summit. On the return I found a better gully that had some grass and was a bit more stable. It dropped me out in the small saddle just as McNasser Gulch starts it's climb to the small lake below Garfield. I had intended to do Garfield on the way up and traverse the south ridge to Grizzly but the weather wasn't looking very good even that early.
