Wilson Peak - Climb to the top via the SW ridge, from Rock of Ages TH.

[@CentennialTreks]

Though this peak has moderate endurance stats if approached from the starting point shown in this video, the challenges high on the mountain compensate for this in its overall difficulty. This was exemplified when I reached the top of the false summit, and looked at the formidable and intimidating sight of the route's crux. 'Oh boy,' I thought, but, as we do, found myself proceeding up it carefully and methodically. For all high mountain climbs on this channel: studio.kzbin.infoPL_-D3-4b6xbqY9qs5cN_QFTiqs4gNUstL/videos. Happy climbs!

Best channel for showing the true nature of routes 👍

[@CentennialTreks]

Thank you - that's exactly what I hope and try to capture.

Best videos on youtube for info on trails, hands down. Amazing job.

[@CentennialTreks]

Thank you! - that means a lot for you to say that.

Most excellent documentation sir! I like the "fairly discernable" more than the "potentially precarious" sections, to be sure. I have revisited climbing 14'ers this summer, after a many year break. I've only done Sneffles in CO, and Wilson Peak is definitely on my list. Only 57 more to go... Wow! Exciting enough from false summit!

[@CentennialTreks]

Thanks so much for saying so - I'm glad you enjoyed this. Maybe I could do variations on these descriptions, like 'discernibly precarious,' or something. I imagine you would enjoy Mt. Wilson - not overly long or too much elevation gain, but plenty of engaging climbing in a spectacular setting.

Nice video! It’s a cool climb with great views, I’ve done it twice.

[@CentennialTreks]

Thanks....I too enjoyed the engaging challenge of this one.

[@vincentcieluch7863]

Another great video!

[@CentennialTreks]

Thanks for catching another one!

[@ruggedland]

Did this in late August after you. One of the most engaging and enjoyable climbs I’ve had on a 14er. Hope to try Wetterhorn soon

[@CentennialTreks]

I thought so too. Mt. Wilson and El Diente are on my list for next year. I climbed Wetterhorn back in September of 2019 - similar endurance stats to Wilson Peak (starting at Rock of Ages TH), though overall I would say Wilson Peak is slightly more of a technical challenge. Wetterhorn is quite the idyllic setting as I recall, though.

Very nice hike! Not too spicy; just spicy enough….

[@CentennialTreks]

Yes.....at that point where a little burn adds to the flavor!

Love your videos! Been subscribed for a while now! Was wondering if you’re trying to climb all the centennials as well as the 14ers?

[@CentennialTreks]

Well, I've never been too committed to completing lists. Each year I try to make it up some of the high mtns and routes I haven't climbed yet, but I also have a lot of repeats and 3 or 4-peats. Some day, maybe this will translate into completing certain sets of climbs, maybe not. But there are definitely many of the 'highest 100' that would be great to experience. Thanks for watching this and others!

[@thomasmontoya7279]

hello 911, yes, i need someone to come get me off this mountain. im not hurt, i just refuse to go down it.

[@CentennialTreks]

Yeah for sure 🤣 - sometimes that would be nice like to just get in a helicopter or something, and not have to slog all the way back down those treacherous rocks like on this mountain.
