Windom and Sunlight are two great 14ers with amazing views. With the exception of Sunlight's exposed class 4 summit block, both of these peaks are relatively straight forward to climb. Windom being 2+ and Sunlight class 3. They are very different from each other but both have fun blocky scrambling on solid rock.

Although exposed, Sunlight's summit block is fairly easy to climb.... getting back down is the trick. Some folks do an intimidating jump, I butt scooted and there is often a rapel station setup (bring your own rope).
