Strategy

 * Is it advised you do not bring your follower while playing Hardcore as he/she will probably die.
 * Bring a high DAM weapon like a Gauss rifle, anti-materiel rifle, or any strong rifle/explosives. Bringing land-mines or C-4 can also be a good choice. High DAM weapons (as opposed to high DPS weapons) in general are advised.
 * If you chose the Wild Wasteland trait, getting the alien blaster beforehand is recommended, as it can kill any deathclaw in two hits, one if hit in the head.
 * If you have a good unarmed skill level and the Piercing Strike perk, the ballistic fist will kill the regular deathclaws in one hit, and the mother and alpha in two.
 * The easiest way is to get Lily as a companion make her wait at the entrance and use a stealth boy with Lily's perk Stealth Girl the deathclaws won't be able to see you.
 * Get the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle and you can easily stay far away and snipe the deathclaws. Works well with Boone as a companion.

Bugs

 * There is a bug associated with there being no dead bodies to loot. To fix, either save and re-load, or use console commands to gain the armor/weapons. The bodies sometimes spawn if you wonder around the promontory. Safety warning, if you reload a save while in this "deathclaw preserve" any missing deathclaws may suddenly appear at your feet - so save on high ground.
 * Getting the Remnants power helmet from Silver Peak Mine before going to deathclaw promontory solved above problem. It's a good idea to take the Remnants power helmet with you when you head to the deathclaw promontory, or when returning if you encounter this glitch.
 * The game tends to freeze at random in the area. Also if the bodies aren't there, warp to a nearby location and travel back. They should spawn.
 * On some rocks, the tips of them may appear see-through when viewed from certain angles.
 * Hang around to long and 3 death claw mothers and 5 alphas will spawn close by
