Scramble – Torreys Peak via Kelso Ridge Scramble

This is a Class 3 route with high risk for rock fall and exposure. Commitment is considerable (once we start the ridge there are few options to bail out).

We will discuss options to carpool from the winter trailhead or camp at the 4WD trailhead (Grays Peak Trailhead). From the winter trailhead will meet at the dirt parking lot at the start of Forest Road 189 (Bakerville exit (#221) off I-70) at 4am. We will consolidate into as few vehicles as possible and drive to Gray's Peak Trailhead (3 mile rough road road with high clearance vehicles recommended). Start hiking from Grays Peak trailhead at 4:45a. We will descend via the standard route. Should be back at the trailhead by 1p.
