| eggheadsherpa | Dead Dog  Date Climbed: May 26, 2007 | |
| Climbed up the couloir and then tagged Grays. Got to the couloir as the sun was coming up, the snow got soft quick. Melting was causing rocks to come flying down, bring a helmet. | |

| Alpinist | Dead Dog Date Climbed: May 27, 2007 | |
| Flew in from Chicago Friday night and slept at the TH. Parked just past the old saw mill on Saturday morning, snowshoed in and camped below the mine shack. Climbed Kelso Mountain in the afternoon as a warm-up for Torreys Peak. Woke up early Sunday and climbed the Dead Dog Couloir on Torreys with Mike. Conditions were perfect. We had a mostly cloudless sky and excellent snow in the couloir. The snow on the final summit ridge was a bit powdery but no real problem. We intended to climb Grays Peak too, but heavy clouds started to roll in and we opted to head back. Descended via the south saddle and Grays Peak trail, broke camp and hiked out. | |

| spannring29 | My second 14er Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2006 | |
| Like so many others, I hiked Torreys in succession with Grays, but the summits could not have been different. On Grays, it was me and one other person sheltering ourselves from the wind and cold. A short time later, on Torreys, there was a crowd basking in the warm sun of a June day. You gotta love this state. | |

| winterfae | Kelso trail | |
| Did Torreys/Grays as my first solo 14ers...used the Kelso trail at the advice of an avid hiker and am so glad I did. Loved the scrambling and chose a few of the more difficult routes along the way. Beautiful morning...was 2nd to summit...made it down just as it started to rain. | |

| Vagabond Manifesto | Kelso Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2002 | |
| With friends, Chels and Bryant. We descended off the ridge near the knife-edge via a Class 4 wall, near top of Dead Dog Couloir, then continued up. Dicey. Lots of fun. Patches of snow. Continued to Grays. | |
