Currently misspelled as "Wiltes Col" on the HST Map. Named after Charles Wilts, who made the first ascent of Echo Peak #9 with Spencer Austin.
GENERAL OVERVIEW: Pass between the Echo Peaks, used to access Matthes Crest/Echo Lake from Budd Lake.
CLASS/DIFFICULTY: Listed as "class 2-3" in Secor's book, but there's certainly no class 3 rock there. Both sides are a mix of sand & class 1-2 talus. Snowier on the north, steeper on the south.
Location: 37.8340, -119.4008, HST Map Link
