| Wasn't sure if I had time to do Torreys from Grays but went for it and succeeded! | |

| K_G_Wright | A Peak for All Seasons! Date Climbed: Dec 20, 1988 | |
| Just signing the log. I've climbed Torreys several times and have been up there in all seasons. Some of the biggest avalanches I've ever seen (disregarding Nepal and the Cascades) were on the east face of Torreys during a three day heavy snowfall. A beautiful, fun peak in any season. | |

| Great climb/hike, very happy to have made the full trip in 4:20 solo, with my first Class 3 pitches at such altitude (live in upstate NY). Decent exposure and a very fun route! | |

| slowbutsteady | over from Grays Peak Date Climbed: Aug 21, 1996 | |
| I was succesful and proud of it! When crossing the snowfield at the saddle between the peaks don't turn down too soon on the return back down to Stevens Gulch Trailhead, terrain is rougher there. My first twofer. | |

| Jerry S | Loveland Pass Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2007 | |
| Wow, 10 miles above 12000ft, that makes for quite a day. Took about 8 hours and none of it is flat. All up and down all the way. Jogged out the final mile and a half because I was getting rained on. Jogging at 12000ft is not fun, but neither is getting lightening'ed. This was a great route. | |

| Went across the saddle from Grays on a beautiful day. More than a few people, but I didn't mind, I hiked my first 14ers! If you want a fairly tame hike that will leave you wanting more, Grays\Torreys will do the trick. | |

| Mike Mc | Kelso Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2007 | |
| Climbed some unnamed couloir on Kelso Mountain from Grizzly Gulch to the summit of Kelso. We then followed Kelso Ridge all the way from Kelso Mtn. to the summit of Torreys. Beautiful Day! #27 | |

| gunnersmith | Dead Dog Couloir Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2007 | |
| This was a nice couloir with a great finish, but it was crowded (14 people climbed it this day) and there were definitely a few cases of rock-fall. I took my brother-in-law, and this was his first crampon/ice axe experience. | |

| rkymtn | Dead Dog Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2007 | |
| A great day. Haliku and I ascended Dead Dog Couloir to the summit and then headed on to Grays. It was good to summit after a previous attempt on this route and an arduous attempt on Mt. Brooks in the Alaska Range about two weeks ago. I needed to get up something! ---- 7/20/08 - Climbed Grays and Torreys with my wife for our, belated, anniversary 14er tradition. | |

| 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. | |
