| Standard route from camp at the old 4WD TH. Nice route, but still prefer Crestone Needle's standard route. | |

| Up the NW couloir from Bears Playground after a cold bivy at upper Colony lake. Many potential mixed alpine routes on the North Face not discussed in guide books. | |

| ABQDrew | Standard Route - Super fun Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2011 | |
| Super fun route. Everything was clear of snow except for a couple hundred feet of climbing just below broken hand pass on the south colony lake side. Down climbing this section was a bit dicey at places but all in all not too bad. some ppl might prefer a mountaineering axe for this section only. | ||

| boisedoc | Red gully Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2011 | |
| Pretty long day hike from the new gate closure. The gully was fun safe scrambling with little exposure. Biggest risk is likely rockfall from other climbers, especially at broken hand pass. Hordes of people around over the labor day weekend. | |

| alpspitze | Red Gully from new parking lot Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2011 | |
| This is for sure a top shelf mountain. It's got a lot to offer. The fog lifted right when we got to the summit. | |

| Very satisfying summit. Sat for an hour at Broken hand pass, waiting for clouds to clear. Finally cleared up and I made a go for it. Crestones are amazing. | |

| Panthera uncia | Snowy Red Gully Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2010 | |
| Encountered a lot of snow in the gully on the standard route so we opted to climb some fun, knoby rock up to the summit. | |

| Montana Matt | Rough ride Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2008 | |
| The worst part of the entire journey was the ride into the trailhead. Climbed the Needle with my incredible wife Leah and then headed over to the Peak alone. Great day! | |

| ericnoel | Crestone and East Crestone Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2010 | |
| We made the short approach and camped at the upper South Colony Lake. Then up to the ridge and up the NW Gully. Then down the red gully and over Broken Hand Pass to make a loop of it. Nice area and an interesting route. Steep, but never scary steep. | |

| skorpeo | From new parking lot Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2010 | |
| Thirteen hours from new parking lot. My partner, Paul could have easily taken 3-4 hours off that time. From the saddle to the summit was a bit airy, but fun. | |
