Edwards to Grays Peak Traverse
Does anyone have any information about the ridge walk from Mount Edwards to Grays Peak? I'm interested in climbing Edwards this summer and was wondering what the traverse would be like. Is there a trail, is it class 2 or 3? Etc. Pictures and info would be great.

Just follow the ridgeline. Nice scrambling up the "Remarkables", in between which are somewhat extra credit. You may see a social trail. You could probably keep it class 2.
I've done the traverse around Stevens Gulch - def. a must-do, in my book,

Here's a page I wrote up about it a couple/few years ago. Little dated, but everything is there.

Re: Edwards to Grays Peak Traverse
Why stop at Grays/Edwards? Running around the whole cirque, from Torreys to Ganley, is a long but fun day. There are great views to be had of Grays & Torreys from McClellan. The worst part is the bushwhack off Ganley back down to the road in Stevens Gulch.
