| Great summit on the standard route. Next time we'll do the ridge walk around to the hut. Looks like a great loop. | |

| SarahThompson | Summer & Winter x2 Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2005 | |
| 8/7/05 - Halo Ridge route, long and scenic. Descended standard route. 1/29/11 - Backpacked up Tigiwon Road (looooong), past summer trailhead to a camp spot just below Halfmoon Pass. Climbed a slight variation of the standard north ridge route to avoid avalanche danger, particularly getting down to Cross Creek. Big effort. 12/23/12 - Another winter summit. 3 days/2 nights from bottom of Tigiwon Rd. Followed more or less the standard route. | |

| centrifuge | sat the top just after sunset Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2006 | |
| and felt really stupid. We had great weather but climbed through the hotest part of the day and ran out of water before the summit. Did it in one day and long day does not cover this | |

| thatnissanguy | North Ridge to summit Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2009 | |
| Great day and 5th fourteener for me. It was a little stormy and we had some snow flurries. The climb back out of halfmoon pass sucked! Of course! | |

| The Holy Cross Wilderness is one of Colorado's gems. We had to turn back at 11,500' because of rain. | |

| Kapelmuur | Standard Route, a new favorite Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2010 | |
| Great route--a real blast. Amazing weather: mostly sunny with no wind, 40° at the summit. Happy to have survived the Bermuda Triangle of the Rockies: the mountain really does try to sucker you down the left side on the descent. | |

| StephanieLynn | winter death march Date Climbed: Jan 4, 2010 | |
| Third time summiting, but this one was the most physically demanding thing I've ever done. Long day and it took all four of us taking turns to break trail, but we summited right at sunset! Hit the wall on the way down, due mostly to dehydration. A very memorable and rewarding winter hike I plan to never repeat. With Kiefer, Ben, and Ryan. | |

| JustinShapiro | Long day, but very enjoyable Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2010 | |
| I was not prepared for the outstanding beauty of the Holy Cross wilderness and the of the mountain. We got a really late start and climbed the mountain from the Halfmoon Pass route. It was a really long day and I would of been happier if we didn't have to go 1000 feet back up to Halfmoon Pass. | |

| Nice hike. Next time I think I will ascend via the Halo Ridge route. That looks like fun. | |

| csmcgranahan | Halo Ridge solo Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2010 | |
| Started at 3:30am and made it to Notch Mountain right after sunrise. The ridge was long as advertised but I didn't see a soul until the summit of Holy Cross. The north ridge seemed long but it may just be that I didn't go up that way so it was unfamiliar. Climbing back over Halfmoon Pass wasn't as tough as I had feared. Great route for a blue bird sky kind of day! | |

| Wasted an hour blowing right by the entrance to the cross, and was rewarded with nasty slush. Oh, well. Still a cool route. Trip report | |

| Alex Wood | Solitude and a Long Day Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2010 | |
| Started out at 4:15 and were headed for Cross Couloir. The approach took forever so we decided to do Angelica Couloir. Fun snow climb! Then we did Halo Ridge to Notch Mountain. We got back to Half Moon Pass TH at 6pm...LONG DAY! We didn't see anybody all day until we got below Notch Mountain | |

| Alika | via Notch Mtn and Halo Ridge, awesome! Date Climbed: Oct 30, 2009 | |
| With Mccannster Climbed the north ridge of Notch, went through the Notch over to Halo ridge, then to the summit. Descended North Ridge. Only 12 miles, but it felt more like 20. 6200 feet of gain. Just enough snow to make the talus scrambling very annoying. Long day, just short of 12 hours | |
