Review:

At 13,804 feet elevation at the summit, Gannett Peak is the tallest mountain in the state of Wyoming, beating out the more famous Grand Teton by a mere 34 feet. This isolated peak, which has a 5,000-foot prominence, is located in the Wind River Range, and while it is accessible for hiking and sport climbing, Gannett Peak is considered very difficult and the summit should not be attempted by amateurs. Most hikers require about 3 to 5 days round trip to summit this peak, and the standard approach from the west is about 40 miles round trip.
