| alpinedon | Many Times, only one summit  | |
| I have probably climbed Wolf Rock nine or ten times at least, all by various scramble routes out of the amphitheater and the west side gully route. | |

| Mr. Clam | Sub summit Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2006 | |
| We bushwacked strait from the drain pipe and headed up the first gully we saw thinking it was the southwest gully route. It was a fun 3rd class scramble with decent exposure, but it only took us to a sub summit with no reasonable way to reach the true summit. I will return sometime to find the real route. | |

| Ragu | Route Climbed: SW Gully Date Climbed: Sept 18, 2005 | |
| The info for the basic route on Brian's page is dead on (thanks Brian). I followed the climbers trail to the end, which brings you right to the gullies. I found that following the water-marked trough right up the middle was quite nice, with somewhat decent rock. Some lichen and loose stuff here and there, but otherwsie not bad. Class 3, a staircase. I came from the north side of FS road 15 (from hwy 20), and there's a turnout (dead-end road) just before the climber's trail. The turnout is on the left with Wolf on the right. For those caught on top without water, you'll find several gallon jugs of water. The summit register mentioned the water was left this year... so probably not too stale. It's a fun scramble with great views of the Oregon Cascades. | |

| Brian Jenkins | Route Climbed: Southwest Gully #2 Date Climbed: August 27, 2004 | |
| Came to Wolf Rock with friends in 2002 to do the Coligula Route but the looseness and unprotectability scared us off. So we drove to the north side in my Jeep trying to find those routes. Scratched my Jeep up driving into branches on what is barely a road. Lost my sunglasses on the bushwhack in. I was literally standing two feet from my friends and could not see them in the thick brush. Once we got to the rock, it was all mossy and licheny and looked like it hadn't been climbed in years. So, back to the south side to try to find the easy way up and could not. Left dejected. Came back this past weekend determined to find the way up. Got on the same damn route as before and retreated quickly. Headed further west on the road and then up to the mossy slab gully. Knowing I had to go further west, I went around a corner and then saw what looked like 3rd class rock up. Halfway up and already committed, it seemed to become exposed Class 4. Kept going and tried not to think about the exposure. It was easy climbing but a fall would have been bad. Finally got up to the ridge and then looked over to see I had gone one gully too short. Took the ridge the rest of the way up and then traversed the ridge to the summit. Found the ammo can and signed the register. Looks like the original register is in there (along with a geocache) and it has a log from 1967, 30 days after I was born. On the way down I found the easier gully and had no problem getting down although I think I went further right than I was supposed to. It looked like nice 3rd class rock instead of mossy, loose slopey grass so I opted for that way. Up in two hours and down in about 1.5. | |
