The plan for the “24 Hours of Torreys” had been ascents up three Class 3 routes — Dead Dog, Eroica, and Emperor couloirs — on 14,267-foot Torreys Peak. As much as 15,000 feet of vertical gain, all to raise financial support for Mission: Haiti. “The mountain wasn’t in play that day,” said Josh Carroll. “We decided a couple dollars more wasn’t worth someone getting hurt.” Carroll, who climbed with “24 Hours” creator Kenny Jolley and Kenny’s sister Jill, said his group raised $600-$700 for Mission: Haiti. George Jakab, a member from Denver who did his own variation of the “24 Hours of Torreys” on Saturday, May 30, raised $670 for Haiti. Fall (or is it a winter?)
