My plan was to summit Grays Peak and then traverse over to summit Torreys Peak.  To my dismay, the entire trail and the mountains were covered in snow, so it was more strenuous than I expected.  Even though Grays was a Class1 peak, it was covered in 2+ ft of snow so it was brutally hard to get to the top, often postholing along the way in chilling 20 mph winds.  I managed to slog up to the top of Grays, but I was getting Elvis Legs and bonking big time.  I felt the effects of altitude the last 300 ft going up the final push that was ~45 degrees in slope, getting tunnel vision and becoming dizzy due to overexertion and not enough oxygen.  Luckily, I was able to recognize the symptoms and work through it.  By the time I got to the top of Grays, I was exhausted  and didn't have enough gas in my tank to traverse over and summit Torreys Peak as well.  I will have to save that 14er for another day when the snow has melted away.

This was a hike to the top of Mt. Sherman, a 14er, and back.  2100 ft of elevation gain so a lot of cardio.  There were some patches of snow I had to hike through, but the snow was firmly packed so I didn't need microspikes.  The rocks on the ridge up were frosted and slippery so trekking poles helped provide balance.  Sherman is a Class 1 walk-up, but still challenging since you start at ~12000 ft and then are heavy breathing in the thin air to the top.  Views from the top were nice.
