Climbers can expect afternoon rain, hail, and lightning from the seasonal monsoon in late July and August. Climbing Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle are rock scrambles (Class 3) with some exposure; Crestone Peak has significant rockfall danger.

Challenger Point (14,081 ft, 4,292 m) and Columbia Point () are sub-peaks
