I went up the route with two other climbers. We started at 6:30am, summited Torreys a little after 1:00pm, and got back to Loveland Pass at 7:30pm. Conditions were mostly spring like and windblown. We didn't carry snowshoes, and they weren't needed. The snow that was on the trail was thin and could be easily kick-stepped on the steeper aspects. I slipped at the bottom of the ridge on the return ascent of Grizzly, and we put on our microspikes immediately but took them off after reaching the summit. We all had poles, but I would have felt more secure with an ice ax for that ridge. That one ridge is still heavily snow packed. We put on our headlamps after watching the sunset, and hiking in the dark was not a problem. It was a great time to hike the ridge because lightening storms aren't an issue, so we could comfortably spend the whole day on the ridge and take in some awesome views.
