| I tagged Holy Cross Ridge plus the other 13er summits on my may to Holy Cross starting on the Halo Ridge side. I eventually completed the Tour de Holy Cross descending the Halfmoon Pass trail before the storms hit the area. Awesome views all around! | |

| DerekFreed | 13831 Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2010 | |
| From the summit of Holy Cross via standard route, continued on to Holy Cross Ridge (13831) summit. Planned to descend via the full loop, but decided to head back the same way due to ankle issues. (Which ended up being longer and more elevation, but easier trail.) | |

| theREALCarpeDM | From Fancy Creek TH Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2011 | |
| Due to Tigiwon Rd closure, I went for Holy Cross from the south. The road just past Fancy Creek was washed out. Packed into Hunky Dory Lake (heard that sites near Tuhare Lakes were soggy - they were). Reached east ridge of Pt 13,768, went over to Mt of HC, then back to HC Ridge. Came down to Tuhare Lakes - which was a big mistake! Spent a lot of time looking for a passable way down. Beautiful area! But lots of snow begets lots of rushing water. | |

| Matt Lemke | Holy Cross City/Hunky Dory Lake approach Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2009 | |
| Climbed the steep south slopes of UN13618 and traversed to UN13768 Descended to the Rock Island Lake and returned to Holy Cross City via the trail. A difficult day as we didn't start the climb until around 3 pm. Summited around 5 pm and returned in the dark. Strom was also moving in and by the time we returned to the car the winds picked up. | |

| 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! | |

| We decided on doing this route instead of going back up to Half Moon Pass. We had amazing weather all day long with amazing amazing views all over. The talus on the traverse kinda sucks after awhile, but it was doable. It was a very very long day, but well worth. | |

| Did the entire Notch>Halo>Holy Cross cirque. Some snow on the talus, made things a bit more difficult. Long day. | |

| Halo Ridge is some of the longest class-2 and 3 scrambling done in a day. Great views of Holy Cross and Bowl of Tears though!! Climbed with Stephanie, Keith & Colleen. | |

| It was my third time on Halo Ridge, but I went over to 13,768 instead of Mount of the Holy Cross. I spent two nights in the Notch shelter acclimatizing before the trip to Peru. | |

| MountainHikerCO | 13831 Date Climbed: Oct 3, 1998 | |
| Went over and got 13831 before climbing Holy Cross via the standard route. On 7-7-07 we returned to Holy Cross. This time we did Holy Cross first and then 13831. We tried skirting Holy Cross some on the way back. The grain of the mountain can make this harder than regaining some elevation on the way past Holy Cross. | |

| 2nd summit after Holy Cross. Proceeded onward toward UN13248 afterwards. The view of UN13768 was incredible from the Halo. | |
