Traverse Peak

Traverse Peak is a mountain in the Wind River Range that rises from granite formations and offers multiple technically demanding climbing routes. The summit area features steep slopes that attract experienced mountaineers and rock climbers.

The mountain lies in an area explored by early expeditions during the 1800s when adventurers documented the Wind River Range. This period of exploration helped bring the region to geographic awareness.

The peak represents a significant destination for mountaineers seeking to complete their collection of Wyoming peaks above 13,000 feet in elevation.

Access requires experience with alpine conditions and navigation across rough terrain. The best time to climb is after mid-July, when snow recedes and routes become more passable.

The North Ridge route requires traversing eastern rock slabs before steep scree slopes lead to a narrow chute ending at a large rock wall. This section is known for loose rock and tight passages.
