We climbed to Celo Knob from the Bowlens Creek trailhead. Fall color was at peak, but at the top of the ridge we encountered a whiteout and winds gusting @ 40 MPH. We stuck it out, camped right on the ridge, and climbed Gibbs and Celo in perfect conditions the next day. Both manways to Gibbs and Celo were obvious in good weather - it would be more difficult in poor visibility.
