| JonBradford | Lovely Mountain  Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2012 | |
| Climbed Redcliff from 2-wheel drive trailhead. Didn't see anyone till the way down. Made the summit by 9:30am. Fantastic views of the San Juan/Cimarron Mountains. Looked back on Courthouse from the day before. 11 year old Sopris and 1 year old Watanga dogs along for the fun. | |

| boisedoc | interesting area Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2012 | |
| very scenic area with fewer crowds as there are no 14ers or centennials to climb around the here. This is a half day hike if you can drive to the end of the road. The scenic qualities were somewhat marred by cattle grazing all the way up into the tundra- trail had several cow wallows and plenty of cow manure. However, the views of Coxcomb and Wetterhorn outweigh the cow problems. The old register has been replaced- unfortunately, the one placed in 2011 was water logged and will likely disintegrate soon | |

| displacedchzhead | Via S Ridge-Wetterhorn Trail Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2012 | |
| The typical PM storms never materialized, so we were able to do this as a mid-afternoon climb. Reached summit 5PM, to great views of Coxcomb, Wetterhorn, Uncompahgre, Precipice, Courthouse, etc. Then setup camp in the meadows on the W side of peak, just before thunder and rain came at sunset. Unforgettable day! | |

| lordhelmut014 | Traverse from Coxcomb Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2010 | |
| ran up after one of the nastier traverses from Coxcomb on a very sketchy dirt slope ending in a cliff. I guess rapping off the north side of Coxcomb would've been easier, had we enough rope. Great views nonetheless. | |

| dakotaconcrete | Excellent rewards! Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2008 | |
| Summited via west fork approach. Nasty bit of effort required to make the saddle between coxcomb and redcliff. But as soon as you make the saddle views of wetterhorn and uncompahgre make the remaining several hundred feet seem easy. | |

| SarahThompson | Cool peak in the spectacular Cimarrons Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2007 | |
| This was an easy jaunt after we made a double rope rappel off the north face of Coxcomb. | |

| Took the long way and got amazing views... so lush it felt like the Alps and Coxcomb looks like a sword in the air... | |

| mow10 | Fun Mountaineering intro Date Climbed: Jul 23, 1997 | |
| The challenge was not to summit, it was to keep track of the van full of 14 year olds I was acting as a guide for on this trip! They all made it. Classic Colorado mountain. Very worth checking out. | |
