Southeast Face
Long day with over 5000 ft elevation day, but what a beautiful area and mountain. Gore Range are different than other ranges, any 13ers hike will test your endurance.

Red Peak from SW
Fun jaunt with Aron and Brian up Red Peak's SW slopes. We descended via a 3rd-class off-trail draining SE of the summit, which was fun.

fog stumble
Started from buffalo cabin TH. Clouds moved in about 13:00 but no booms and graupel till 14:00, so I only got the W summit before I left. At red buffalo pass I got below the cloud layer. Saw one bear and 5 elk...

july 4 fun
Here's a dumb ass story on this peak. Do not repeat this. I got off work on july 4th and me and a bottle of Jack Daniels went up and had a ball all alone on the summit of red peak. Awesome summit. And we watched all the fire works. I stumbled down below the pass to treeline with no headlamp or light source,and said eh...screw it im sleeping up here and built me a fire and cuddled up around it. Lol...u know the gores are a hidden gem...shhhh...don't tell anyone else. IMHO id rather be on the spiny crest of the gores somewhere than many of the big 54 ant hills.

N Couloir Ski
Skied the north couloir from the East Summit of Red. We didn't cross the true summit, but didn't look like much more effort to get there.

W Demming
A great hike from E Vail up the Gore Creek trail to Red Buffalo Pass, over to Eccles Pass, to the summit of W Demming, down to Eccles Pass, and all the way down to Silverthorne for a beer at the brewery!
Great summit and wonderful views, nice climb from Willow Creek.

North Ridge
Backpacked in solo from Rock Creek TH. Left the TH at sunset the night before and bivied somewhere near S. Rock Creek. Continued up to Willow Lakes the next morning and improvised a 3rd class route up the N Face/Ridge. Descended by traversing around the summit ridge to the north and east to Pt. 13,005', around to the first Zodiac Spire, and back down to Willow Lakes. Made it back to Rock Creek by mid afternoon--another perfect day in the Gores.
Climbed with Colin and Shawn. Nice fun moderate snow climb with great scenery and views from the summit.

Great day in the Gores with Mike and Shawn. Made it up in 4 hours thanks to Mike's beastly trail breaking. One of my favorite days in the mountains this year...moderate route, great views, and good company.

Red Pk
Red Pk was a nice warmup hike going from the Gore Creek TH, a pretty solid 15mi. (did the Grand Traverse the next day).
I climbed Uneva peak a few years back on 7/25/04 in a big loop starting at the Gore Creek TH to Red Buffalo Pass, Eccles Pass, Uneva Pass, Uneva summit, to Vail Pass. Nice trip.

Route Climbed: South Ridge Via Buffalo Cabin TH
Wasn't sure if I was going to make it to the summit due to the weather forcast, but it ended up being a nice day. Took me alot longer round trip then what I expected. Started at 7:50 and got to the peak at 12:30. Got back to my car at 5:00pm. This is my favorite 13er I've done thus far. Glad to have made the summit, not sure when I would have been able to attempt this one again.

started from camp five miles up gore creek. great day hike. the last few hundred yards up to the summit along the narrow ridge were hard but the views of summit county and of the gores are amazing.
