Approach


Stevens Gulch, 1 1/2 to 2 hours to approx 12,000 feet.Then cut over to the base of the obvious couloir that cuts the peak in half.

Route Description


Dead Dog is the obvious line that runs up the middle of Torreys. Steepest sections gets to about 45 degrees toward the top but very managable. However, know that a slip could take you down to the bottom.
Exit the couloir to the right and join the ridge to the summit. This ridge is the finish of Kelso.
Saw someone evacked out of there last spring.

Essential Gear


Ice axe and crampons and helmet. watch for icy-er sections and falling rock, oh yea, and SKIIERS!!
