Gray's and Torrey's successful summits. This definitely was not easy, very Rocky And busy trails throughout the day. I ended up leaving Loveland around 3:00 a.m. picking up a friend of mine down in wheat ridge around 4:15, got up to the trailhead around 5:00 a.m. a.m. after following some cars up, the very rough and Rocky Road to the trailhead. Was able to get one of three spots left in the parking lot. River my husky mix helped pull me up the trail... She pulled so hard on the way down in a couple areas that I either fell off rocks or slipped with my footing. We averaged about 2.2 mph on the way up and about 1.5 on the way down. We started the trail around 6:00 a.m. And summited grays at 9:00 a.m. Torrey's at 11am and back to the parking lot at 1:30pm. Knees and ankles are sore but extremely proud that I was able to finish and summit these peaks and especially proud of Kathy Phan For kicking ass today with me.
