| Eric Holle | West ridge + ski descent Date Climbed: May 7, 2009 | |
| After skiing from Sunlight, we ascended Windom by the standard E Ridge route dropping our skis off a few hundred ft from the summit. Ben and I watched our buddies, Jim and Weston ski the top part of the widowmaker couloir, then made our way back to our skies to descend via the furthest east coulior on the north face. Great day! | |

| thebeave7 | Dayhiking from Purgatory Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2008 | |
| Dayhike run from the Purgatory trailhead. 42miles and 12000ft gain/loss over a beautiful route. Perfect weather and a great day out, though the trail was busy. Climbed from the saddle with Sunlight spire, stayed on the class 3/4 rock for better footing, still loose. | |

| HokieJim | Second time Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2008 | |
| Traversed across from Sunlight. Little bit of lingering snow up top made the route finding a bit tricky. Fun summit block! | |

| spannring29 | 13 of 14 Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2008 | |
| Thirteenth of 14 14ers in 11 days, with a traverse over from Sunlight. My legs were quite tired by this point, but it was a fun hike and boulder hop. | |

| MountainHikerCO | Third Time Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2008 | |
| We were fortunate with the weather. No rain the day we hiked in. The following day we started at 2:45 am. We lost the trail to Eolus for a stretch in the moonless dark after passing Twin Lakes. We got N Eolus first, then Eolus. It was then over to Sunlight. I have stood on that summit block before so this time I was content to tag the top. On the way down Sunlight we had some rain with hail. It cleared up though for our climb of Windom. We were back to camp at 11,500' at around 5:30. The goats were waiting for us! | |

| Kiefer Thomas | NW face variation Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2008 | |
| Got a good partial snow climb in on the face and followed it up by some decent scrambling till I hit the ridge. Windom is a good mountain! I was surprised. Great views. Climbed it after Sunlight. | |

| chicagotransplant | Standard Route Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2008 | |
| Climbed the standard route with Jamie Nellis after climbing Sunlight. Still a lot of snow in the basin between these two, but nothing unreasonable, an ice axe is useful to get to the saddle with Peak 18. | |

| MountainHikerCO | From Silverton Date Climbed: Sep 4, 1994 | |
| This was my first climb of Windom, Sunlight & Eolus. I took the train from Silverton to save a day. After getting off the afternoon train at Needleton, I hiked up to treeline and made camp. I was hiking at first light the next morning. I did Windom first, then Sunlight, N Eolus and then Eolus. It had rained at lot that week so the top of Windom had a coat of ice. After tearing down camp I hiked most of the way to the trailhead before sundown. I then caught the morning train to Silverton and drove back to Denver that afternoon. | |

| tomlauren | Windom - Sunlight - Eolus in a day Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2005 | |
| From camp in Chicago Basin, climbed the Northwest Face of Windom Peak, the South Slopes up to Sunlight Peak, and then the Northeast Ridge of Mount Eolus with my friend Jason. We started hiking at 4:30 AM and reached the summit of Windom Peak just as the sun was rising. The rocks on the approach were icy and slippery. | |
