Spectacular day up on G&T. I started at the I-70 lot, ascended Kelso Ridge, across to Grays, then descended Grays standard route. I took the entire ensemble (crampons, snowshoes, axe, microspikes), but didn't use any of it. The road is well packed down, a few vehicles made it to the parking area a mile or so up, didn't look like anyone attempted to get farther. After getting far enough into the valley to see both mountains, I left my snowshoes. Some very minor postholing, but not worth putting snowshoes on for. Keslo Ridge had some challenging sections due to snow. Photos (click for slideshow):
