| Did Telescope the previous day so we were a little tired, but still managed to get up and down in 3 hours. Great hike and great weather this time of year. | |

| SoCalHiker | Nice peak Date Climbed: Nov 23, 2008 | |
| Hiked from the end of the paved part of Wildrose Canyon road to the kilns (added another 4.5 miles in and out) and up to the peak. Great views from the top. Very few patches of snow on the saddle before the final ascent. Cold winds on top. | |

| TripoliRick | Snow blocking the road Date Climbed: Feb 7, 1974 | |
| When snow blocked the way past the kilns, I decided to hike up Wildrose as an alternative. Took the better part of the day. Almost got stuck when I went to Skido when I couldn't get traction on the ice covered steep road out. I spent an hour or more throwing rocks and gravel on the ice surface, then easily drove up and out (a lesson I've used many times since). | |

| slogger | Route: Wildrose Peak Trail Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2005 | |
| A quick buzz up the trail to the top, with wonderful views when I gained the ridge. Good weather that day, with no snow on Wildrose, although Telescope was blanketed. A good warm-up in Death Valley. | ||

| Well maintained, not too long (4.2 miles up), so lots of people. Beautiful views of the Sierra and Death Valley. | |

| Not a bad alternative to Telescope. Fun hike, good temps. It was cold in the morning though. I wouldn't do this one in the summer. It is hot enough at the top campground. | |

| I led a subgroup of our scouts on a hike to the top of Wildrose Peak in patchy snow conditions. From my photos I have identified the following successfull summiteers: Steven Smith, Nathanial Wilson, Andrew Blau, Robert and Doug Bowman, Austin Sneed, and Adam Danise | |

| Luciano136 | Road closed to Telescope - Wildrose instead Date Climbed: Mar 4, 2006 | |
| We were supposed to do Telescope Peak on Sat 03/04/06 but ended up doing Wildrose Peak. We called Death Valley before we left Friday (03/03). They said it was snowing at the Wildrose campground (4100feet) and they closed the road past the campground about 1+ miles before the kilns. We weren't very warm in our tent Fri night (22 degrees). We got up around 5:30am and started driving up the road; there was snow and everything was frozen solid. Telescope looked pretty plastered with snow. As the road was closed, we only drove past the sign to the kilns and decided on doing Wildrose Peak. Looked like Telescope had good snow above 9000 feet with about 1 foot around 10000 and maybe 2 feet on top? We probably would've made it up to Mahony flat and Telescope but it would've been a looong day and we were not supposed to drive that far. Wildrose was fun though. There was snow right at the trailhead and we lost the trail. We x-countried to the saddle and picked up the trail again there. Views were endless! The snow was melting when we came down. Above 9000 feet, it remained cold and it looked like the snow up Telescope wasn't melting at all. Definitely a peak worth climbing; you can see Whitney to the west and Badwater to the east! Watch out for mountain lions; we saw multiple prints in the fresh snow. | |
