Ouray!
Winter is soon approaching (relatively speaking). With this in mind, I was doing a couple of searches on google this afternoon and I could find plenty of trip reports and web pages on a Presi traverse in winter, but nothing on a Great Range traverse in winter.
Anyone has any info or personal experience they could share regarding this subject? Obviously, it would involve winter camping and such, perhaps some ice climbing as well (Saddleback) and a steep slide ascent up Gothics (would be cool if one would attach an ascender to the cables on Gothics, although I was thinking of using a pair of carabiners and webbing to clip onto the cable, a bit like what I believe is via ferrata, just in case of a fall).
Thanks!
