via Kelso Ridge  Sucess!

Started at 5am and had the peak mostly to myself. Torreys via Kelso Ridge makes a great obligatory combo with Grays. Fun route!

#20 for me and #3 son  Sucess!

Great weather. I was surprised at how beautiful it was. I have put this hike off because of how busy it gets. It was busy but actually one of the most enjoyable I have done. (david)

from Grays  Sucess!

If it weren't for that sign on top of Grays, I'm not sure I would have found the ridge. ;-)

Grays and Torreys  Sucess!

I've done this 14er combination several times over the years, but the most challenging was summitting Grays from the Horseshoe Basin side, then climbing up to Torreys, and returning to the vehicle by climbing over Grays a second time. Whew---what a day!

Grays and Torreys  Sucess!

The approach road was a real challenge for my motorcycle. I only made it up half way and then hitchhiked the rest. Spent the night just above the tree line in Stevens Gulch. Moments after I got into my tent, there was a major hail storm. The next morning I did Torreys first and then Grays. See my Trip Report about doing seven 14ers in eight days.

Loveland Pass  Sucess!

Did the Loveland Pass route with friends.Can't recall the exact date.I clocked until the last push to Torreys,and then had to slow down.Gotta work on the endurance,haha.

Weather looked iffy,so we descended into Chihuauah Gulch.A thunder boomer came along and helped us to get home a bit faster:).Discovered how much I like Oboz shoes-my feet felt great,and no blisters!

via Kelso Ridge  Sucess!

Went up Kelso Ridge with Eric and Alex today. We 4 wheeled (fun!) up the road to the trailhead at night, slept in the Jeep and began at 7am. Shit ton of people on the trail, but very few on the ridge. The ridge itself was very fun. Went on over to Grays afterwards. 4 hr 15 mins car to car.

Kelso Ridge  Sucess!

Made a big loop on a bluebird day by going up the south ridge of Kelso, across Kelso Ridge to Torreys, over to Grays, down the south ridge of Grays to Ruby. Long day but avoided the huge masses of people on the trail. The knife edge on Kelso is fun, but too short!
