Ascent of Wheeler Peak on 2010-08-11| Date: | Wednesday, August 11, 2010 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Wheeler Peak | | Location: | USA-New Mexico | | Elevation: | 13161 ft / 4011 m |
Ascent Trip ReportMy fourth trip up the trail above Williams Lake and my second successful climb of Wheeler. And my third significant climb in 8 days (Peak 12819 and Lake Peak the others).
Time up: 2:57; down: 1:45. loose gravel and rocks make this a pain coming down, but not really a difficult ascent except for the steepness between Williams Lake and the peak. Mt. Walter is only ten minutes back along the ridgeline--a nice stop before I went down. Swarms of marmots begged for food.
