Description

On the western side of Wyoming lies the Wind River Range which holds some of the highest and most technical peaks in the entire state. In Wyoming there is 36 ranked peaks over 13,000 feet (They must have 300 feet of prominence based on LiDar to be ranked) and 32 of them lie within the Wind River Range. This route consists of 9 official Wyoming 13ers, and 2 other 13ers that fall short of 300ft prominence. The peaks in this route are all pretty much on 1 ridgeline that surrounds the Dinwoody Glacier and link up to form one epic loop. The peaks are Mount Febbas, Sunbeam Peak, Turret Peak, Mount Warren, Doublet Peak (Not a 13er), Dinwoody Peak (Not a 13er), Miriam Peak, The Spinx, Mount Woodrow Wilson, Pinnacle Ridge, and you finish on Gannett Peak the highest point in Wyoming. This route contains multiple class 4 and 5 sections as well as extensive class 3 portions. If you are going to attempt this route make sure you have appropriate gear and really good knowledge of the area and beta.
