| mfox79 | Bonus Peak  Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2012 | |
| Climbed this after Wheeler and Jeff Davis. Fun last minute Idea I also wanted to climb Buck but the wether moved in very fast forcing us to retreat back to tree line | |

| mtybumpo | Bonus Peak! Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2012 | |
| Added this peak on after doing Wheeler, Jeff Davis, and Wheeler again. Started storming right after we got to the summit so we booked it off. | |

| boisedoc | good kid hike Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2011 | |
| with the high trailhead and gentle terrain this is a good kid hike. My seven year old did well on this. I would recommend not following the Wheeler Peak trail all the way to the saddle. Instead, just follow the trail until you get to an open meadow and head up (the Wheeler Peak trail is unnecessarily winding and also caused us to have to cross several snowfields when we came down this way). The summit register is still a broken glass jar | |

| Day Hiker | Bald Mountain Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2010 | |
| Perfect afternoon family hike. I carried the 32-pound DayHikerJr in my arms most of the way, which of course adds a bit of work. At around 10600 feet, we left the trail, taking a more-direct route up about 450 vertical feet to the ridge. Descending, we chose the standard route along the ridge because I was carrying a sleeping kid in my arms and could not see my feet to comfortably do the steep descent of our earlier shortcut. But I guess I could have gone either way because the ridge isn't exactly class-1 either. The mileages were about 2.5 up and 3.3 down (from the Wheeler Summit trailhead). | |

| rayray | Awesome views Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2010 | |
| Absolutely beautiful area with awesome views, not just from the summit, but on the way up as well. The glass jar for the summit register is cracked....hopefully someone reads this and will replace it. Thanks! | |

| Luciano136 | Wheeler-Bald combo Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009 | |
| Since only half of the group felt like another peak, we didn't want to waste too much time and tagged on Bald Mountain on the way down from Wheeler Peak. There was a thunderstorm just north of Bald, so we took a few quick pics and quickly came down; it started sprinkling right as we reached the summit. The real rain only came when we were back at the trailhead. | |

| MoapaPk | Ignorance is bliss Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2008 | |
| After ignoring this peak for years, I realized it was on a "list". So I did the easy trifecta of Bald -Wheeler-Jeff Davis this year. The real goal was to restore karma on top of JD, in the form of a lost Nepalese Rupee (really, but the story is rather complicated). The register is a mess -- a bunch of loose pages in a glass jar. I must admit the views from the top are splendid. | |

| A side trip on the way back from Wheeler. I got so absorbed in following mule deer on the way up Bald Mtn that I forgot to do a self-portrait on the summit and never got a good picture of the deer, either. My slideshow is here: Wheeler Peak and Bald Mountain hike | |

| Perfect weather accompanied our trio to the summit. There is a nest of bees in the solar panel box at the summit. The bees are somewhat annoying, but non-aggressive. | |

| miamilightning | Route Climbed: Along ridge between Bald Mt. and Wheeler Peak. Date Climbed: July 2005 | |
| This hike is almost exclusively over loose tallus of varying sizes all the way from the saddle to the summit. Good footing is a matter of finding a solid rock and using to to get to another. Hiking Pole(s) are a must on this hike - not so much for the slope, but for stability over the loose rocks. In July of 2005 there were several patches of rather deep snow along the route to the summit. Once achieved, the view from the summit is spectacular. To the north you can see Mt. Moriah off in the distance. To the west, other north-south ranges of this portion of the Great Basin can be seen. Of course, to the south, Wheeler Peak predominates along with Jeff Davis Peak and a splendid view of Stella Lake. | ||
