Walk past this tree up the narrower gully, to the final chockstone just before the route.

The upper pitches of this route are stellar. Steep but super positive face climbing on awesome rock. April 7th, 2007.

Looking down from the top belay. The entire route is visible below.

Wilson summit.

Approach: Just after White Rot Gully. Keep going up.

Descent: Descend gully to descender's right of White Rot Gully. A rappel is at the base.

for the linkup to res arete: climb the left-leaning 5.4 crack up to the base of the big boulder with an offwidth crack, but drop below it and go through here. full info @ https://miaclimbs.com/2025/03/21/mt-wilson-via-inti-watana-and-resolution-arete
