| andrew david | Lots of Possibilities  Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2011 | |
| Can be climbed or "hiked" though exposure even on the standard walk/traverse there is a ton of exposure. Great thrill, spectacular views, and easily combined with Sugarloaf and another unnamed peak. The approach if timed right is through wildflower meadows also, though a cool winter climb could be done up the central gully splitting the face of the mountain. | |

| madsjim | Fun! | |
| Very fun! Despite the rock looking crumbly, it is very easy to climb and like many other large alpine climbs, you can usually find an easier route if you feel uncomfortable with the exposure. | |

| thigbee | Climbed via 3 Technical Routes Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2011 | |
| I climbed this 3 times via 3 routes in the summer of 2011. It's some of my favorite rock climbing in the Wasatch. Big, dark, adventurous... What's not to love? Here are links to my TRs (with pics) on my blog: Black Streak (5.10c, 6 pitches) Horns of Satan (5.10c, 8 pitches) Portable Darkness (5.9+, 6 pitches) I'll definitely be back to climb the rest of the routes. | |

| madjohnbo | Very fun Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2010 | |
| Very enjoyable and not as difficult as it might seem. Some parts of climbing required some concentration but were easy enough. It was good to meet BigNick and chat on top. | |

| Bignick | Awsome Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2010 | |
| Did this today and met Madsjim and Madjohnbo near the Sugarloaf/DC saddle. They led the climb, I followed. I took a slightly different route to the 2nd summit and attained the ridge early and traversed to the mailbox. Signed the register, had a drink and on to the third. Great weather made for a pleasent half day hike. This makes #4 for these peaks. | |

| jamesmc2 | Black Streaker! | |
| Climbed via the Black Streak. This route was originally rated 5.11a but has been appropriately down graded to 5.10. I have also climbed Devil's Castle as a day hike. Offers some of the best view in the area. | |

| builttospill | Couloir, Ridge Scramble Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| We delayed a trip to Colorado due to weather, so our consolation was climbing this couloir and one on the Pfeifferhorn the day before. This one was a good, fun, steep snow climb with a bit of rock scrambling thrown in. I've also done the standard scrambling route in the summer, which is a great, quick climb (can be done in under 2 hours roundtrip, definitely). | |
