| kavak | South Thorny Bush Approach  Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2011 | |
| I thought I would tackle this one as a side trip on the way to Crested Butte. Just as many others have thought or said, I had seen it many times on the way to other peaks. It was hot and I chose to wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt for the thorns. It wasn't too bad but I still got bloodied a bit, but just not sure how. Nice views on top and I saw a golden eagle fly off the top while ascending the gully. | |

| Love, love, LOVED this little mountain! The high winds in the high country forced us low, so we visited this little peak. Yes, some of the loose screen was crappy, but what a funky little summit and what AMAZING views. Candace and I sat forever on the summit, eating lunch, relaxing, and even got to see one of the resident Golden Eagles! | |

| Climbed with Jamie up a snowy NW face, then back down the much drier SE side and contoured around on the road back to the car. | |

| nader | Castle Rock Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2010 | |
| I first came across this amazing little peak in October of 2009. I went up a steep gully on the south side that was filled with thorny bushes and loose rock and reached the ridgetop at a spot to the west of the summit. Trees obstructed the views of the summit and I could not see what laid ahead. The weather was iffy so I went down the north slopes. Later, in my pictures, I noted the slope on the north that went to near the summit but I had to wait until August of 2010 to come back to try the north face. I really enjoyed climbing Castle Rock. | |
