Torrey's Peak - Kelso Ridge

Photography
9.30.17

After September graced the front range peaks with some snow, Zach Cohen & I headed up Kelso Ridge for some spicy, snowy, icy & wet 3rd/4th class scrambling. We didn’t do a great job at photographing the crux sections. We were probably too puckered.

Grays Peak on the left, Torreys on the Right. Kelso Ridge is the ridgeline straight up from the photo on the right.

Looks Badass:
