| chicagotransplant | Kit Carson Sub Peak Day  Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007 | |
| Sort of a weird combination, climbed all of Kit Carson's subpeaks but not Kit Carson. Challenger Point, "The Prow", Columbia Point and "Kitty Kat Carson". For the ascent I dropped below the Kit Carson Avenue for 100'+ to a lower ledge that traversed around a tower. From above the ledge is pretty obvious. I then turned around the corner and ascended a steep 3rd Class gully to a notch that looked into the OB couloir. From here I followed the ledge system as it worked its way up to the summit. Actually climbed this one a second time a little later; as I was coming out of the ascent gully shanahan96 was heading over from Kit so I went back up with him. | |

| Summit with Jim C. from South Colony, had a great day, battled plenty of rotten snow. We saw a wicked 2000 ft. point-release avalanche on the E Face that crossed our ascent path 90 min. after we were there. Whew! | |

| After doing the Needle and returning to lower S. Colony Lake early in the afternoon, I had enough time to head over and do Obstruction and Co. Point! The east face of Co. Point is easier than it looks, but can be kept at class 2+. Awesome views of the Crestones. | |

| Scampered over to Columbia Point after N. Ridge of Kit. Down kit avenue and over Challenger. With Adams the previous night, this was a great tour of the area. | |

| Started from TH 3:30 AM, up the North Ridge of Kit Carson (AWESOME climb!!!), then up some scary class 3-4 ice and snow filled gullies to Columbia Point (fighting approaching thunderstorms), and back to Challenger Point via the Avenue. A seventeen hour day worth the effort! | |

| The class 3 downclimb to Kit Carson is sure tricky. | |

| bc44caesar | Route Climbed: Traverse from Kit Carson Date Climbed: 14 Aug 2005 | |
| After summitting Kit Carson I found my way up Columbia Pt in thick clouds. I thought I was on the wrong track for sure, but ended up picking the right way! Went over to Kitty Kat Carson as well, but didn't get a chance to take any pictures thanks to the clouds. | |

| Long before the shuttle disaster, and before I heard the mention of "Kat Carson" I knew the recognized status of this summit (from Garratt and Martin's fine book) and made sure to tag it on the way over to Kit Carson. | |

| actually the harder portion of kit is going over kat and back. kicked my butt, passed out in the tent in s. colony afterwards, feet sticking out into a hail storm. great 3rd/4th class route from bear's playground. | |

| goat14er | Route Climbed: traverse from Kit Carson Date Climbed: September 2001 | |
| It was called Kat Carson when I climbed it, and the exposure on the way back to Kit Carson Peak after climbing up this one was pretty good...the part that wasn't good was the lightning flying around in the area! Well done in re-naming the summit. | |

| It sure looks imposing from the Bears Playground. I tagged Point 13799 on the way and got some more pictures. Great angle. One of the first to sign the new summit log. The traverse over to Kit was gnarly looking! One look at it and I headed back to the guidebook to reread the section to see if I had overlooked anything. Nope. Just strap on a pair and go. | |
