Kelso Ridge conditions?

Post by Mountain Ninja »

Has anyone been up on Kelso Ridge (Torrey's) recently? Hoping to head up there with a friend next week, hoping it's mostly snow & ice free.
A little pain never hurt anyone.

Up there yesterday. No snow until immediately after the knife edge - about 20 steps in a very deep trench so no spikes needed. Spikes helpful to cross the snowfield on the walk out
