From the book Best Summit Hikes in Colorado:

Point 12,707 at 39.7881,-105.8381 = "Spirit of 707"

From the book Grand Junction Bouldering: A climbers guide to Dynamite Shacks and Bullet Hole (I'll only mention some of the larger ones that I have recently climbed since I have pretty good idea of what the rise would be):

At 39.049585, -108.611420 = Bullet Hole Boulder (5.0 by easiest route). About 15-20 feet of rise.

At 39.049985, -108.611844 = Slab Boulder (5.8 by easiest route). About 25 feet of rise.

At 39.04998970824227, -108.61211607567544 = La Cueva (5.3 by easiest route). About 15 feet of rise.

At 39.049995, -108.612117 = Sport Boulder (5.6 by easiest route). About 25 feet of rise.

From Grand Junction City/Mesa County maps and signs:

At 39.0563,-108.6353/39.0537,-108.6335/39.0602,-108.6385 (I don't know which point is higher) = Redlands Mesa (Class 1 by easiest route). Summit = 4988 or 4990 (interpolated), rise = 138 or 140 feet.

From City maps and name of nature trail and old park (https://cms3files.revize.com/craigco/Do ... Trails.pdf):

40.5244,-107.5555 = Sandrocks (Class 1 via easiest route). Summit = 6510, rise = 120 feet.

From the book Hiking and Exploring Utah's San Rafael Swell, 4th edition (Utah):

At 38.586113, -110.612472 (Utah) = Sheepherder's Rock. It doesn't show on the topo map, but is a neat rock tower maybe 80 feet high. 5.x in difficulty.
