jean - climbing Grays is slightly more difficult than climbing to the Boulder Field on Longs - they are both class 1 and about 3,000' gain - the Grays 3K is just at a higher altitude than the Boulder Field 3K - its 2K higher, so just a bit tougher. The road to the Grays TH is tough this year. Tim and I had to park 1.5 miles from the TH due to a bad spot on the road. We saw a Ford Explorer try and fail that section about three times and they had to walk it like us. That adds some distance and elevation gain. But Tim and I caught a ride to the TH and only had to do the extra 1.5 on the return.
