Colorado 14ers- Greys Peak & Torrey Peak, Mount Bierstadt & Mount Evans VeryHard

Details

Come on out and join me in Colorado where I will be climbing some of Colorado's beautiful 14ers. July 17-20th
First we will climb Greys Peak and Torrey Peak via the Kelso Ridge route Class 3.
Gray's Peak stands at 14,270 FT and is the 9th tallest peak in Colorado and the highest point on the North American divide. Tori Peak stands at 14,257ft and is the 11th tallest Summit in Colorado.
The Kelso Ridge Route is not for beginners. It is a class 3 route with a beautiful knife edge. We do have the option to do the easier Class 2 route if there are issues with weather, etc.
The views on the Summits and along the Ridgeline are nothing less than spectacular. Hopefully we will see lots of beautiful white mountain goats along the way too.
After we leave the grays Peak trailhead, we will head over to the next trailhead, spend the night there and wake up early to climb Mount Bierstadt & Mount Evans. We will do the famous Sawtooth Ridge from Mount Bierstadt to Mount Evans Class 3 to make it in a day or do each separately making it a 2 day venture.

If you're interested, we will need to talk more via a phone call. Please DM me with your number and we can talk. For safety reasons, you will be vetted before being able to climb these peaks. They are for experienced hikers/climbers.
