| Ben L and I summitted Ellingwood Point in whiteout conditions. We were happy to have brought snow wands along to play with for the first time. Continued on to Blanca. | |

| Climbed Ellingwood from Como Lake. High winds and blowing snow made it a real challenge. | |

| MountainHikerCO | Rescue Date Climbed: Sep 4, 1999 | |
| This was my third climb of Ellingwood. We climbed Blanca first and then Ellingwood. On the way down we encountered 2 guys helping an injured girl. She got hit in the ankle with a rock. I called for help on my cell. When a ranger showed he requested I remain to be part of the rescue party. It was slow going. I got back to camp at 10:00 that night. I was too tired to do Little Bear the next day. What helped our decision to leave were the yahoos that arrived to camp next to us. They were using a shotgun to split wood! | |

| MountainHikerCO | North Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 31, 1993 | |
| This was my first climb of Ellingwood. I climbed the North Ridge from Huerfano River trailhead. I climbed point 13660 on the way. The weather didn't look like I should go for Blanca. | |

| tomlauren | Little Bear - Blanca - Ellingwood Pt in a day Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2007 | |
| From camp at Lake Como, climbed the West Ridge of Little Bear, performed the traverse to Blanca Peak, then descended Blanca's Northwest Face to Ellingwood Point's South Face with my friend Keith. The descent from Ellingwood Point back to camp was scenic. | |

| Mike Mc | SW Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2007 | |
| Second time on Ellingwood. Climbed the direct Blanca/Ellingwood Ridge and downclimbed the SW Ridge. The latter route probably would have been better climbing rather than downclimbing, but quality nonetheless. | |

| mtnhiker13 | SW Ridge Route Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2007 | |
| LOVED the SW Ridge route - it is probably my favorite ridge route I have done. Fun solid climbing with a little exposure along the way. | |

| ElliottDavis | W ridge and airy traverse Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2007 | |
| went up most of W ridge in the dark; not a problem. Loved the finish: "Oh, I'm here!" and walking along the ridge top with 1000+ feet of exposure; thrilling if you like that sort of thing. =) | |

| Summited from the SW ridge. Alone on the summit while everyone else was on Blanca. Boot skied down the gully just West of the summit. | |

| Mike Mc | Crossfire Couloir / North Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2006 | |
| My dad and I climbed Ellingwood from South Zapata Lake. I've named this route the "crossfire couloir." Check out the trip report: "Caught in the Crossfire: An Uncharted Route up Ellingwood Point." | |

| dsnalley | Southwest ridge route Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2006 | |
| Great ridge. Stick to the top and it's smooth sailing. Solid rock that's so fun the time and distance flew by, and we had four hours on top to ourselves watching ten others do Blanca. | |
