If going to Cockscomb from the Echo Peaks, the easiest way is to climb Echo Ridge Peak to its summit. From there find a notch no more than 30 feet off the summit (going east toward Cockscomb). This requires a 10 foot easy downclimb to gain the sandy slopes below. Then traverse east the Cockscomb's west face.
