Access
The only route I am familiar with is a traverse from Profile Gap crossing over Crater Peak. See the Crater Peak page for access.
Crater/Wilson Ridge Traverse, Class 2
The ridge travrese is straightforward. Descend west off of the Crater Peak summit toward Point 8856 staying on the south side of the ridge as necessary. Cross 8856 and turn north following the west side of the ridge to the Wilson Peak summit. The ridge is straightforward with few obstacles other than downfall.
