Wrong Peak is located in the Battle Range of the Selkirk Mountains.

The remote peak is set approximately 8 km (5.0 mi) southwest of Nautilus Mountain and the nearest higher neighbor is Scylla Mountain, 2.9 km (1.8 mi) to the west-northwest.

Wrong Peak is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,400 meters (4,593 ft) above the Westfall River in 5 km (3.1 mi).

[1] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on September 14, 1967, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
