This is not so much a trip report as a offer of information for anyone climbing Mt. Wilson via Rock of Ages.
The photo shows many paths, all of which have cairns marking them. The RED path is the correct path. By correct, I mean easiest, least dangerous, most efficient.
The lower half of the red shows two options, depends on snow.
The Orange is close to what is suggested here on 14ers.com, but I don't like it!
How do I know? Yeah, I have hiked them all.
Have fun out there!
I have added a photo from last year, looking from the top down.
I added a third photo with a black route. Note the XXX at the bottom. The mistake I have seen people make is trying to bust straight down over this cliff band. . When the snow is good, and you have a good idea when to break off and traverse to the right, it isn't a bad option. But red route on the crest of the ridge is the best.
