Description:

Let's climb Mt Thielsen! This will be a one day, drive-over-drive-back kind of trip. Thiesen is a great mountain because you get the forested hike, the spicy ridge, and one-pitch technical climb, with all pieces being not too long.

As we get closer to the date, we'll determine meet-up place. We'll meet around 3am and drive to the trailhead.

Saturday, July 28, 11 climbers summited Mt Thielsen. The trip was lead by Marci Hansen. The trip assistant was Maryanne Reiter. There was a little bit of smoke at the trail head, but we hiked above it as we gained elevation. It was a zippy group, we were back at the cars in under 9 hours. Everyone summited.
