| Wasatchvoyage | Multiple ascents. Date Climbed: Jun 10, 1992 | |
| Decided to hit this one up September 12th, 2009 to keep the blood flowing. Great quick scramble from Alta. Also, these peaks were the first in a succession of several along the Cottonwood Ridge. We left my truck at Alta, and my cousins car down in the subdivision at the mouth of Deaf Smith Canyon off Wasatch BLVD. We climbed these two peaks with full packs, with a campsite destination along the Cottonwood Ridge east of Dromedary. Downclimbing to the ridge west of these peaks was fairly challenging with the laden packs. Some claim the route is low class 5. Also summitted these peaks in September of 1993. | |

| Kadee | I can hike...? Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2005 | |
| Yet another one of my beginner hikes. Unfortunately I only did Mount Superior and was too tired (lazy) to do Monte Cristo. I hadn't really realized the concept of peak bagging yet. | |

| PocketsOfBlue | Skied North Chute Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| Skinned up below the power lines from the church at Alta. Dropped down into a bowl and traversed over another ridge, then caught some turns into a bigger bowl below the North face of Superior. From there we skinned up to the East ridge and booted up to the summit. Skied the chute off the saddle to the East -- great conditions for June! | |

| seanpeckham | Up the east ridge, skied the southeast face Date Climbed: May 16, 2008 | |
| vanman798 and I got a 6 or 6:30 am start, skinned to Cardiff Pass and a bit beyond, and booted up the ridge to Superior. We left our skis there, put on crampons, and traversed to Monte Cristo and back. Ran into Bob Athey and a couple who had just climbed the south ridge, and then skied the awesome southeast face from the summit, though because of our delay from tagging Monte Cristo, the corn was past its prime and down low was more like mush. I can't wait to ski it again without the side trip to catch it in ideal conditions. Once a long time ago I also did Superior only in the summer. Nice to have taken care of the unfinished business. | |

| 3/30/08 Great day for climbing; lots of snow. I do this route almost every year! 6/29/08 I pieced together couloirs and small rock steps on the SE Face and joined the S Ridge about 200 yards from the summit. A good solo climb on a very nice day. | |

| LonePeakFreak | Via South Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2007 | |
| Ascended via the South Ridge. No ropes necessary and you can make the route as easy or difficult as you choose. Incredible views from both summits. The trail down from Superior to Cardiff was very easy to lose (which we did again and again). From Cardiff Pass down to the road it was easy to follow. About 6 hours round trip. | |

| What a fun scramble. Summited on a day with very poor visibility due to the largest wildfire in Utah history burning 120 miles south, with a southerly wind. | |
