Roach calls this route the "West Ridge", but I like Loveland Pass too. Maybe to be fully descriptive you could call it "West Ridge from Loveland Pass". Strictly optional. Nice work.
Loveland pass is about 11,990. The first two summits you mention as 12,000 are more like 13,000. I was caught bwtween these two 13k peaks in a thunderstorm and elected to side-hill south to the road. This was unpleasant and the driving rain didn't improve the situation.

Thanks!

QuestionAny ideas on the mileage if you were to walk from the parking lot straight up to the top of the mountain?
