9/15/2025 Route: Trinity traverse Posted On: 9/15/2025, By: kyrawhitworth Info: On summit of E about to head down. Headed up right of vestal via the std and that was efficient but we lost a ton of time traversing around vestal. Entire traverse is dry save for the final 100 ft up E in that W gully. We put on spikes for this and then took them off once we reached the ridge on the right. With the sun, the snow should be gone soon. Arrow looked 100% dry and Wham only had a few lingering tiny spots of snow. |

8/31/2021 Route: Trinity Traverse from Vestal Basin Posted On: 9/3/2021, By: JasonKline Info: Entire route from Vestal Basin is free of snow and ice. It's starting to get chilly at night. The Colorado Trail is in great shape, but there's decent deadfall from the Colorado Trail to Vestal Basin. |
