Enjoyable with a great view

After climbing Williamson two years ago, I thought this was going to be a snap. Somewhat more difficult than I expected. With me was my wife, and a friend from church's 17 year old Eagle Scout to bag his first 14er. Good job Eileen and Ryan!

Normal route

Easy and fun, amazing view from the top

Tyndall

Climbed the Northwest Ridge and descended the North Rib. The ridge was harder then I thought it would be. Alot of fun coming down the rib though.

North Rib

Fun route, but with the potential for lots of exposure depending on your route.

North Rib

Daytrip from Shepherd's pass TH, much more pleasant than Williamson.

North Rib

I loosely followed the the rib, staying on slabs to the west of it.
The summit registry was scattered down the east face, It did not look accidental. There was one kid(late teens) who left the summit just after I gained the ridge. THe couple I'd talked to the day before metioned nothing about it. I'm guessing it was the kid. Heard some rock falls from the summit as well, as if tossed over the edge. I did what I could to start a new registry but my pen broke.

So close

I still call this success even though I missed the summit proper. The approach is too long to go back!

Re: So close

Brad! You are back!

I concluded that Tyndall is a very feasible dayhike -- after I schlepped a big pack up to the Pass, it was all of 12:30 PM. With lighter shoes and a daypack, an earlier start, plus picking up most water on the way, it would be less than other stuff we have done.

June 29 report

I went solo up the northwest ridge, then down the standard route.

It was really fun and much better rock than I expected. I had to detour west around some obstacles.

This is a beautiful mountain with excellent views, highly recommended.

north rib

Met many great people on way. A two-fer day with Williamson. Was sick in AM, but came through. Thanks to Ryan for encouraging words. Don't slip on the BBQ sauce.

NW ridge

Solo from the "notch". Definitely some >class 2 climbing involved.

North Rib, the way to go

Attempted the Northwest Ridge last year and got off route at the top. Decided to go with the North Rib this time. Direct, solid climbing and easy rout finding. Great Class 3.

Tough approach

Did the class 3 rib route. It was a fun and quick ascent. The approach over the shepard's pass was the hardest part.

NW Ridge

Climbed up the NW ridge and came down the North Rib. Williamson looked intimidating from the summit but was not so bad once at the base of the mountain. Climbed Williamson the following day.

Turns in March

Toting a splitboard and skis Peter and I toped out via the NW face, and then descended nearly 6000 feet, although not continuously. Very high winds the two evenings before our descent made for some very crusty and mixed snow conditions. Had the mountain and Shepherd's Pass all to ourselves for four days, great trip!
