8/9/2020 Route: West Ridge from School Bus Basin Posted On: 8/9/2020, By: supranihilest Info: This route starts at Rock of Ages Trailhead, which is the standard trailhead for Wilson Peak. It follows the trail to Elk Creek Trail then takes Elk Creek for a while before leaving the trail at a hard right turn. There's a short bit of talus to climb up and then there's a good network of old mining roads that takes you all the way up the basin to just below the ridge between 13,540 B and Fowler Peak. There's something like 600 feet of steep boulders, talus, and scree to the ridge from there, and it's an odd combination of both stable and unstable rock, which required care. To the ridge was approximately Class 2+. Then it's just a walk to the summit of 13,540 B. |

8/9/2020 Route: East Ridge from Rock of Ages saddle Posted On: 8/11/2020, By: CaptainSuburbia Info: This was a great bonus peak after climbing Gladstone and Wilson Peak. It's mostly class 2 up the ridge with a few short sections of 2+. Took less than an hour to go up and down from saddle. The unique views of the Wilson Group are fantastic. |

7/2/2020 Route: from ROA saddle Posted On: 7/4/2020, By: mtnkub Info: Dry after ROA saddle. And the ridge is still a janga tower of rubble that doesn't move all that much but seems precariously and steeply stacked in places. |
