I climbed Torrey's and Gray's from Grizzly today and the climb to Grizzly was a breeze for most of it. Almost summer conditions everywhere and any snow I encountered was avoidable or solid enough to walk on with maybe only 1 or 2 post holes this whole route. Got into the lot at 5:30 am and there were 5 other cars before me, weather was great. Didn't need traction at all for the whole journey, took about 2 hours to summit Grizzly and got back to Grizzly at about 10:45am and back to my car at 12:05. I took the shortcut from Cupid back to Loveland pass to avoid regaining a bit of altitude and that trail was the most snow I had to cross the whole time, I'd recommend traction if you try to take this shortcut early while the snow is still solid. I was able to kick steps on the way back so it wasn't sketchy but if it was a hard freeze it might be a little more sketch. If you stick to the standard route you will be fine tho! Have fun |
