Started at 3am at Yankee Boy Basin lower TH. The approach was a little confusing in the dark and did some probably unnecessary bushwacking by missing the good path. The scree field to gain the ridge containing Teakettle and Coffeepot was an absolute NIGHTMARE! Some of if not the worst scree I've ever encountered. Definitely use microspikes for this one. The climbing to gain the summit block was a blast, there is one exposed move that involves traversing over a bulge but other than that it the nerves were kept at bay. Rapped off the top and was chased down by a an early thunderstorm the whole way. I was soaked by the time I got back to the trailhead! Enjoyed some beer in Ouray afterwards on an interesting covid July 4th, with no fireworks
