I figured Cockscomb should get a description on a fun way to get to the summit. There are crack systems to take up once you're at the gravel/scree field. Follow path of least resistance to the summit. I felt it was mostly easy 5th with 1 or 2 5.7 moves.

Least Resistance

East Face of South Tower

East Face

Spiral Staircase

West Face

Compromise

This route begins by climbing up the series of slabs on the northeast face directly under a large chimney. Once just below the easier looking chimney, traverse up and left across steepening darker slabs to a 5.7 handcrack near the wall on the southside of the steepening gully. Climb this up to the ledge directly below the west summit. From here climb the 5.7+ offwidth up to a hand traverse left(east) into the notch between the two summits. The hand traverse can be protected with a BD#3. A giant horn on the east side of the west summit tower can be slung to bring up your second. Downclimb the west summit and climb unprotected 4th class up to the east true summit from here.

Begin by climbing a knobby, 5.10a crack to a pedestal. The second pitch follows a wide, curved crack to the summit bulge. Overcome the bulge by means of a thin 5.9 crack.

This one-pitch route follows an obvious corner system that rises above the highest trees.

This route climbs weaknesses in the northeast Arete and then circles around the west side of the west tower back to the notch between the 2 summit towers. Climb up onto the higher eastern summit from here.

Climb the obvious chimney on the west side of the peak. At the top traverse to the left via an easy lieback on top of the crest to a broad ledge that ends at small gap and a wall. Downclimb the chimney at this wall and do an exposed walk next to the wall on the west side leading to the notch between the two summit towers. Climb the tower to the right(East) onto the exposed true summit fin.
