Via Kelso ridge-Torreys
Great hike, very proud of myself for making this climb/hike in 4:20 total (I live at 500 ft. elevation). Great day for this upstate New Yorker to wrap up 4 days in a row of CO 14er bagging (3 days in the San Juans and 1 up here).

I still haven't figured out how to get past the first creek crossing without getting my feet wet. Regardless, great day on a great route!

"the day after Kelso"
The clutch on my 1993 Tempo was protesting "never again" after the drive up the Stevens Gulch road. Warmed up on Kelso the day before then did Grays and Torreys by the standard route.Mountain goat on Torreys.

Standard route
A beautiful day and a fun hike. We saw the mountain goats and several falcons or hawks (not sure). An EXTREMELY busy trail but I expected that. Gorgeous wildflowers! Went on to Torreys afterwards.
I've climbed this one 5 times so far, on different occasions of course.

via Lost Rat
Summitted via the Lost Rat - right hand variation. To my surprise the snow was in great shape for so late in the season. It was starting to melt out towards the top though. Great snow climb.

Haliku and I headed over after tagging Torreys via the Dead Dog Couloir. It was a great day and the climbing conditions were good – a little windy, but no legitimate complaints.
