Sitting here at work

Trying to figure out what he story is with those three sub summits to the west of the main Wilbur summit. How do you get up there?

I suspect that you could traverse to them from the summit - but honestly I cannot remember what it looks like in that direction from there.

To the best of my knowledge, nobody has climbed this south side or the west ridge.

I don't think you can traverse west from the summit. I think the main summit is cut off from the rest of the ridge by a big gap. I could be wrong. Such an unusual mountain.

I think you are correct - here is a photo showing the big drop between the summit and the W part of the peak:
