Mount Wilson ahead on the right.

A rocky slope coming up.

Class 2.

Some Class 2 sections. Nothing crazy.

The trail seemed to leave the crest for a short time to avoid some rockiness, only coming back to it again shortly after.

Final push to Mount Wilson.

View northwest toward Fortification Hill (center) and Lake Mead.

Mount Wilson summit, looking toward the entire ridgeline I just came up.
