Two trips  Sucess!

Went up with some friends and loved it! So the next weekend, went up again with two different friends.
I don't know what to call this route... Came north on the PCT and lost the trail promptly. Came over the SW ridge and into the bowl, then turned East and went straight up the snow and scree face ( the first trip, we popped on top of the peak to the south first).
Nice and easy scramble up the summit block. Prepped me a little for Broken Top and Mt. Washington later in the year.
Love this mountain! Will probably be a favorite for a little while.

Glorious fall day  Sucess!

Slip and trudge to the top with D. The summit block was a fun challenge. Feels good to have accomplished a long-time goal.

thielsen  Sucess!

one of the most fun mountains i have been on, crazy steep, but no gear necessary for the brave, lol, saw a 65yr old man with crazy outdoor muscles bust up the mountain and claim the top.

West Ridge  Sucess!

My partner and I opted to bring a 30 meter 7 Mil. rope and a set of stoppers. It was too short to rappel the summit block so we just put a few pieces in on the way down. Seemed better than a heavy pack or a risky fall.

Snowy wonderland

Perfect weekend for a camping trip. Melting, mixed snow and rock conditions prevented us from climbing the summit block. Super trip.

Favorite Hike Around  Sucess!

I hiked up Thielson three times in school, and photograph it whenever I can get down there. Its profile is so different and almost Alp-like. The view from the top, complete with those white moths, is indescribable. Can't wait to hike it again.

Awesome Climb  Sucess!

I loved the scramble at the top. The weather was great, but the mosquitoes were horrible! Definitely recommended.

West Ridge  Sucess!

Awesome climb! Glad I started early as there were a lot of people on the trail. First one up that day. The Class 4 was pretty easy. The views were great.

West Ridge  Sucess!

We climbed up the west ridge of Mount Thielsen. The summit pinnacle was a fun scramble and easier than expected. There were good handholds and no need for a rope. Good weather and view from the summit. Nice mountain climb.

West Ridge  Sucess!

Mazama climb that convinced me that class 4 can be done without a rope here. Of course, it was nice that our leader set a fixed line. If standing on the east side, below the rock, climb up the right side, it's much easier. We avoided a t-storm over Crater Lake, though it did make us nervous.

Beware of idiots  Sucess!

With fellow V Islanders Graham and Tony and my cousin Patsy from the UK and her husband Keith. Great climb up the W ridge and summit block in under 4h on a perfect day and as the last of a 3 volcano trip.

Soloed and downclimbed the Class 4 summit block with no technical difficulty. Bit stiffer than I expected I must say.

Objective danger was there aplenty, however, in the shape of an unspeakably incompetant and dangerous church group from somewhere in Boondocksville, OR. I'm thinking of entitling the TR "The Power of Faith".

Someone should remove or re-tie the rap station up there. Since we were soloing we had nothing to replace it with and as foreigners, didn't think it our place to remove it. There are two short tapes around the selected horn JOINED by the rap ring! Doh...........

Epic Adventure

We snowshoed into treeline in the dead of winter, and dug a snow cave for the night. In the morning we headed for the summit. We ended up ditching our snowboards because of avalanche danger. Then we had to ditch our snowshoes for crampons towards the end as it got steep. Finally we were ice climbing towards the top when we realized it was getting dark, and clouds were moving in. We climbed down (were within 30 ft of the summit) but too slowly, we were caught in a storm. After hours of searching for our stuff, we ended up plowing down towards the treeline for protection. We couldn't find our snowshoes, or our snowcave with our bags. Luckily we had a shovel, so we dug a new cave which we still froze inside (15F). We survived with minor frostbite on one of my toes, and luckily it was sunny the next day so I was able to go back up and find our gear and head home.
