Ascent of Wheeler Peak on 2011-07-03| Other People: | Solo Ascent
| | Date: | Sunday, July 3, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Wheeler Peak | | Location: | USA-Nevada | | Elevation: | 13063 ft / 3981 m |
Ascent Trip ReportLots of snow meant trail was largely covered higher up. Light scrambling on talus nearing the summit made this one tougher than normal. Visited Stella Lake on the way up. Took a look at the route to Jeff Davis Peak on the way down, but decided there was too much snow. Probably good considering my experience level at this point.
