| chicagotransplant | Continental Divide Date Climbed: Oct 23, 2011 | |
| Nice high, gentle ridge run along the Continental Divide from Stanley Mountain via the "Henderson Cut-off" trail by the mine site. Windy day though, should have run it in the other direction to keep the wind at my back instead! | |

| Hostilejim | WOW | |
| Started from Berthoud Pass, went off trail after making it to the top of the Peak. It took hours to make it back to Vasquez Pass. Stay on the ridge, and never leave it. | |

| colinpence | another fantastic day in the Rockies Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2010 | |
| I joined some of the "usual suspects" to complete the conditioning hike for the upcoming SP summer gathering in the San Juans. We enjoyed ideal weather and discovered some wonderful wildflowers on our descent. | |

| bjd5578 | An interesting challenge Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2005 | |
| This was my second attempt on this peak - the first, a few weeks before, I had to turn back because of snow. Started up through the forest by the Henderson mine (previous time, tried from the road instead), which was a challenge, given that we couldn't find the trail. A nice summit anyway, and a good warmup to the 14er season! | |

| Steven Cross | Continentel Divide Trail to East Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2006 | |
| This was my last training hike for Mount of the Holy Cross. Did this to the saddle with full pack. Parked at the Trail head, yet could not find it. Headed up the road looking for it and stopped at an old closed off road I thoutht might be the trail. Realizing that the trail was 600 feet above me I hiked straight up the mountain to the trail. This saved my a few miles and at least an hour. Headed to the pass and took off my pack and put on my day pack for the rest of the hike up. On the way down I stayed on the trail until I found the conjucting trail and took it down. Found that it starts in the middle of a grass field, would of never found it on the way up. Beautiful skies all day. Spent 45 minutes on the summit, wished I did not have to get back to the city, could of spent a couple of hours up there. | |

| miztflip | Bobtail and Vasquez from Jones Pass Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2006 | |
| What a great outing. Beautiful weather with my wife and dog. The stroll along the divide is gentle and has awesome views. We passed over the summit of Bobtail Benchmark enroute to Vasquez. | |

| Winter conditions. Snowshoes were needed in places. Snow too soft to get a bite with an ice axe. | |

| mtnhiker13 | Route Climbed: From Jones Pass Date Climbed: Fall 2002 | |
| I wasn't feeling particularly energetic this day. This was a substitute hike as we were supposed to be doing Peak C instead. An early fall snow storm had cancelled that hike so we did Vasquez Peak instead. I struggled through the hike especially with the wind. Took a nice nap on the summit. Don't remember much else.... | |

| JonBradford | Route Climbed: Up South Slopes/Down West Ridge: Big Loop Date Climbed: July 20, 2003 | |
| Vasquez Peak was a mountain I didn't expect to enjoy nearly as much as I did. The calm demeanor combined with the extensive wildflowers realy made this a fun mountain to spend time on. I raced storm clouds the entire day but it didn't actualy start raining till I was back at the car. Sopris dog was along with me on this trip. Jon Bradford | |
