TwiceHave climbed WCP-6, both as part of attempts on WCP-5. First time in 2007 did WCP-6, but was solo and spooked on WCP-5. Then came back in 2009 with Splattski and we were successful on both peaks.

First PeakClimbed to the top from O Caulken's Lake via Iron Basin trail. It was my 6 year old son's first peak! Gorgeous area.

O'caulkens lake tripHiked up to O'Caulkens lake from Slate creek. Set up camp and jaunted up 6. Great first peak to climb to get a good view and feel of the area.

South RidgeWith Fred. Hiked into Ocalkens Lake and set up camp. Proceeded to the top of 6 to get a good view of the peaks we wanted to climb the next 2 days.

South RidgeWith Moni in the afternoon after setting up camp at Ocalkens Lake.
Only 4 entries since Sean placed the register in 2006 - the two below, one undated (after or in 2008) and Moni and I in 2009.
Not a hard ascent, but a great viewpoint.

Plan BCame up Slate Creek with the intention of summitting DO Lee. Energy and will weren't there so I moved to plan B and a summit of WCP6. Small register in a Nalgene with only two other signees-those dudes listed above.

First SnowStraight-forward scramble from the trail at Ocalkens Pass. 3 inches of fresh snow made it slightly more challenging in some spots, but added intense beauty to the surrounding peaks. Scramble over to WCP-5 via the ridge for added fun, then descend down the NE ridge of WCP-5 and take the east ridges and slopes back down to Slate Creek.
