| jdmorehouse | Up Twice in One Week  Date Climbed: Dec 15, 2012 | |
| The first time up it was cold and there was significant snow on the north slopes and summit. We went back the next weekend and it was sunny and mild. On the way out the sun set and moon rise (full) occurred simultaneously. It was gorgeous. | |

| ShinLV | Via Black Joe Mine Rd. (West Ridge Route) Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2011 | |
| 3 of us climbed from the West Ridge route. We drove the off road off I-93 from the Black Joe Mine Road to the base of the mountain. The hike was mostly steep class 2 and few class 3(easy 4). Here is my report. http://www.vegashikers.com/pic/20110428/p1.html | |

| surgent | Cool day, great hike Date Climbed: Jan 22, 2012 | |
| Went with Scott Peavy, we took the Missouri Springs Route, but followed ridges moreso than drainages and had a fantastic climb. For an AZ peak, it sure felt like Nevada, with very little cactus on the slopes. Main ridge with rock pinnacles was fun and made us earn the summit. | |

| fedak | From Missouri Spring Date Climbed: Mar 12, 2011 | |
| Angled a bit too far south and hit the ridge about 1/2 mile south of the summit. Geotrash on the summit. Don't understand that activity at all. Pics and commentary are here. | |

| goat14er | east slopes Date Climbed: Apr 3, 2010 | |
| Nice one! Flowers were great, though the wind was pretty strong. Hiked up the road a bit, then picked our way along ridges up to the main Wilson Ridge. Over a couple false summits and some minor boulder-hopping to the great views of Vegas, Lake Mead, and the Mojave. Saw a wild horse on our return, which was pretty cool. | |

| Tracy | via ridge route Date Climbed: Mar 19, 2010 | |
| Hiked up this one with Bristol Ellington via the ridge route that starts near the end of Black Joe Mine Road. That was almost 8 and and half years after (11/2/01) we had hiked up to the 4,000' level from the end of Horse Thief Canyon Road and 3 and a half months after (12/5/09) I climbed North Wilson with Steve Stembridge and Les Rekve. The North Wilson hike started from the vicinity of Teakettle Pass near the end of the Nat. Park Svc. Road that goes from Kingman Wash up to the Fortification Hill trailhead and beyond. North Wilson up and back took us about 4.5 hours. The same day we bagged Mount Wilson, we hiked down the southeast ridge to start our way back to our vehicle and I bagged South Wilson along the way. We hiked the whole circle in about 5 hours. There were summit registers atop all three peaks. | |

| oldadit | Wilson from east Date Climbed: Jan 18, 2003 | |
| Got Honda to closure on jeep road, but it vehicle was not all that happy. Rocky bushwack to top, but bet this is easier than east side. Good to see Vegas folks climbing this peak - it is off the radar of most AZ hikers. | |

| MoapaPk | standard Date Climbed: Dec 28, 2002 | |
| We went up the standard route on the west side, came down a more interesting gully with dryfalls. Years later, I crossed over to the peak to the north -- a very wild trip. That ridge is a lot rougher than you would infer from the topo map. The hike brought me through pools, marshes, and cottonwoods, quite unexpected on the west side of the ridge, during one of the driest winters in memory. | |

| cp0915 | S/SW ridge Date Climbed: Apr 14, 2006 | |
| Nice hike from the highway. Found an old car (from the 40's or 50's, I dunno) in a wash along the way. Some decent class 3-4 scrambling on the granitic upper south/southwest ridge. Nice views from the summit. | |
