Review:
The W is another peak that has no official name. On maps, it is usually referred to as Peak 6856 in the Big Horn Range, but locally it is known as The W because of the triangular formations near the peak, which look very much like the letter “W” when viewed from a distance. Although its summit doesn’t even reach 7,000 feet, The W is an excellent one for climbers. It is not considered a technical climb, and it is generally quite safe to summit, even for beginning climbers, but visitors should still exercise care when attempting this climb.
