We summited popular Front Range 14er Torreys Peak via class 3 Kelso Ridge, which rises about 2000ft in 1 mile. Compared to the standard route which I used to summit Grays/Torreys a few years ago, this route is much more fun, as it offers lots of scrambling opportunities, including several engaging class 3 sections. There is also a 30-40ft long Knife Edge at 14,000’ with high exposure on both sides. It’s a great training route for getting into higher class 3/4 terrain. Total stats from upper Grays Peak TH: 6.8 miles with 3,000ft elevation gain

Incredible climb and video. Thanks for taking me along. The knife edge looks like great practice for Capitol Peak.

It certainly is. Need plenty of practice before we take on that mountain. Thanks Vickie

I enjoy watching these more challenging hikes that require some skill to complete. Gorgeous early morning sky/ridge scenery at 0:41. P.S. I think more verbal commentary would be a big improvement to your videos.
