| lizrdboy | Happy B-Day BSG  Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007 | |
| Summited just before heading out of the fabulous Crestone group. It happened to be BlueSkyGirl's birthday - so I dedicated the climb to her. Great peak - beautiful shape - easy walk-up. The clouds all around made for great pictures. Lovely! | |

| Natasha | East ridge, early storm, no summit Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2007 | |
| Gorgeous day (for the most part). Carried snowshoes and an ice axe, didn't use either. At 8:20a, a few clouds started building. At 9:20 it started snowing. At 10:15a, with less than 1/4 mi from the summit and still no thunder, we called it quits. The air was so ionized (buzzing, poles shocked us, even my hair pins were vibrating against my head, etc.) that we high tailed it straight down the rocky South face to the nearest batch of trees (took 1.5 hours to "high tail" it down the loose rock, while thunder began in the distance). We followed a stream to S Colony Rd and called it a day...thankful to not be another statistic. Still a GREAT day. I hope next time that the weather will work in our favor. | |

| Ben and I climbed summitted in the evening of May 1st, only six days before TalusMonkey died climbing Humbolt. We left the Sangre de Cristo Range May 5th due to horrible weather conditions after spending 12 days climbing in the range. We summitted Broken Hand Peak earlier that morning. | |

| A good hike with good friends! Don't beat up your car on the approach into the South Colony Creek Drainage. It's a long walk from the 2WD trailhead, but the South Colony Lakes make for excellent camping. We also saw many big horn sheep. | |

| This was a weak consolation hike after getting rained out of the area with big plans for a bunch of the technical routes. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back. | |

| Snowmobile to 11,000' on S Colony Road. Skinned up SE gully to 13,200'. Booted up talus/snow to summit, skied from summit down SE gully to S. Colony Road. Had to remove skis and walk over 100' of rock shortly after summit. | |

| Without that mess of rock scree on top, this wouldn't be a 14er. | |

| ktiffany22 | Climbed after the Needle Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2006 | |
| After finishing a spectacular summit early in the day on Crestone Needle, we decided we had the strength to head back down to S.Colony Lakes and hike up Humboldt. Spectacular views of the Crestones from the Peak! | |
