| Woodzy | 9 Peak Day Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2009 | |
| Climbed the ridge from Kachina all the way to Wheeler. We hit Kachina Peak...An unnamed peak, Lake Fork Peak, "Bighorn Peak",Pt 12,728, Simpson, Old Mike, Wheeler, and then Walter. Started at 7:20am and then finished at 5:30. We started at the Williams Lake Trailhead. Amazing day! The weather somehow cooperated with us the whole time. Very fun traverse. Saw lots of Elk, Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goats. SO MUCH FUN!! | |

| scotthsu | wheeler cirque Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2005 | |
| I've skied off it several times, but the only time i went to the true summit was when I did the Wheeler cirque from Lake Fork to Wheeler. We snow climbed up a N facing couloir on the east ridge of Lake Fork and descended down the W side of Wheeler. (edit: skied off the exact summit and down the N chutes on May 8, 2009.) | |

| Midlife Mountaineer | Re: En Route to Wheeler from Lake Fork | |
| Seems like you had an interesting night without much sleep. I was planning the route you did in reverse (Wheeler-Kachina)sometime this summer. I was wondering what the climbing was like between 12,819(Bighorn) and 12,728? That's the only part I haven't done. You should post your summit of 12,728 - I know it's not an official peak but it is the hardest part of the route you took so I think it's worthy of mention. | |

| Watched the sunrise over Wheeler and Simpson Peaks. Massive Bighorns filled the air with their musky scent. | |
