We will be climbing the standard route on Mt. Thielsen. The route begins as a use trail up the scree and talus of the lower mountain, later becoming a class 3 scramble as the ridge steepens. The final climb up the summit pinnacle is a class 4, easy 5th class scramble on the only solid piece of rock on the mountain. We will plan on doing the climb in 1 day from Eugene. However, those who wish to camp can meet us at the trail head in the early AM.

Trip Report

The Climb School Class of 2019 rocked Mount Thielsen! They put their rope travel skills to good use prusiking up the fixed line on the summit pinnacle. Everyone made it to the top, though because of the group size, we had to climb in shifts. The weather was perfect, the mosquitoes not too terrible. A good time was had by all.
