Awesomely ambitious! I haven't hiked Greys since I got burned out on it by hiking my mountain bike up the backside doing the old Montezuma's Revenge race a few times. I'd imagine the standard trail up it is a veritable highway now. Next time do Torrey's northeast ridge and make a loop out of it.

Thanks for the info.
