| Buz Groshong | Made it to the ridge  Date Climbed: Apr 16, 2013 | |
| I made it up to the ridge and got a short distance from the window when I ran into four of the guys I started with coming back down and decided to turn around there. It ws a great hike with lots of great views. | |

| Sarah Simon | Ventana Canyon Date Climbed: Feb 10, 2013 | |
| Ventana is yet another amazingly beautiful Tucson-area canyon! Beyond Maiden Pools I saw NO ONE until the saddle to ascend Window Peak. At this point I ran into two other solo hikers. The scramble to the summit was a little dicey solo with snow and ice on the best holds, but the views from the top were show-stopping! My GPS registered 14.5 miles RT from the Ventana resort TH. Beautiful day, sunny with temps in the 50s F. Perfect! | |

| Clark_Griswold | Long hike Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2012 | |
| Basically a long hike to the summit, with a very short scramble at the top. I was a little let down there, and really hoped for more than there was. Not hot, but very humid, on this July day. | |

| lizklevy | Ventana to Finger Rock Trail Date Climbed: Dec 26, 2011 | |
| Climbed Window Peak via Ventana Canyon then planned to traverse over to Mt. Kimball but lost the trail as it isn't very well traveled and is overgrown is some places. There are a decent number of cairns, but we lost track of them in the snow. Didn't summit Kimball. Hiked out Finger Rock trail. | |

| oldadit | The Laggard Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2000 | |
| Hiked with the speedy Guy C. and the speedier AZB. They waited at the top a long time for the laggard. AZB climbed the pinnacle contending for HP and we used a rope to join him. Water ran low on the descent, but after a light rain we could lick drops off oak leaves. Hiked out solo in the dark, taking fully reclining rests to revive flagging morale. | |

| Felsberg | Route Climbed: Ventana / Esperero Loop Date Climbed: Dec 21, 2004 | |
| Great climb to the Window and Window Peak. This is one of the most beautiful spots near Tucson and I always end up there when I go home. The Esperero loop was stressful as the trail was really hard to find descending from the peak, there was some snow cover that made things even harder. PICS | |
