#1 07-19-2019 W/ Yadahzoemtn. Bluebird day with lots of snow in the Silver Pick Basin from about 11,700'. Used crampons and ice ax from there to the ROA saddle. The crux was almost 100% free of snow. What a beautiful peak. This is CO 14er #48 for both of us. We stayed in Norwood at the Hotel Norwood, a delightful small hotel with old-time hospitality. We would have camped along the road leading to the trailhead but the mosquitoes were on a rampage so we opted for the friendlier confines of a room.

Crazy solo road-trip, sunrise summit
With the other Wilson 14ers, part of a wild solo road-trip from Wyoming; reached the summit at sunrise via standard Rock of Ages route
With Rachael. Standard route then crossed Rock of Ages saddle to climb PT 13540 and "Big Bear", fun outing in great weather! Second time up for me, Rachael's 40th 14er.

This helluva basin provided me with one of the most stressful, mentally challenging days of the summer. Didn't expect the slopes to retain this much snow so with running shoes on I traversed the ridge all the way around and ended up on El Diente at sunset and "suicide climbed" down its North Slopes and safely made my way back to the Rock of Ages saddle and back to the car.

Southwest Ridge
Hiked up from our camp at Navajo Lake. I thought the ledges after the second saddle were the sketchiest part, but I might have picked a bad line. The down climb from the false summit and the summit pitch were straightforward and felt pretty secure. Fun peak with awesome views!

From Rock of Ages
Climbed with Greg Jagielski from SLC. Warm day; headed to Gladstone next via the ridge. Still a bit of snow on the trail. Great day.

Via Rock of Ages
Climbed via Rock of Ages - Accessed saddle from side slope instead of hiking all the way through basin and climbing up scree. Back down the same way. Climbed with MoapaPk (Harlan)and one other.

Silver Pick
The weather was pretty terrible this weekend, even by San Juan standards, but we hiked through the drizzle and made this summit. Once again, Mt Wilson has a forcefield around it preventing my successful passage to its summit. I was impressed by the sustained scrambling / weaving / navigation on the higher reaches of Wilson Pk past the small saddle. I enjoyed this peak! With Mikey.

Scary weather!
From Rock of Ages TH, we had to wait one hour for weather to move out, it wasn't fun getting rained on at 13K but patience pays off.
Beautiful mountain.
