Daunting Task: The north face of Wilbur provides a challenge for veteran climbers

Last month, Adam Clark and I made, from what we know, the fourth ascent of the North Face of Mount Wilbur via the main weakness to the west of the true summit. We reveled in the fact that this line was first climbed in 1961 by a three-man team --— -tackling its committing and difficult nature through complicated and overhanging terrain. A winter ascent of the North Face was also completed in 2018 by a strong team from Missoula.
