I just did this today and it kicked my ass royally. I was training before I went here but apparently it was not good enough unfortunately I did not make the damn summit. I’m so disappointed in myself. I missed it by 750 feet by the time I got there I was so nauseated and gassed I just couldn’t make it. I knew that if I push myself that hard I wouldn’t of been able to get down lol cause I barely made it down three solid hours of pure torture going down those hills. I was so mad. I’ve never wanna see another rock again in my life.

August 14 1973 for me, Bob and Deputy Dog.
Wheeler Peak is no joke. It may not be a 14er but it’s TOUGH. I did it in two days a few years ago and that still sucked.
Now go rip into a couple of cold beers.
