Description:

Thielsen is a perfect mountain for the first time mountaineers. It starts with a hike through the forest, followed by a fun ridge traverse that has some exposure and finishes with one pitch of rock climbing on a fixed line to the summit. It is a shorter hike in than most Oregon mountains and is a shorter overall day than any of the other technical peaks.
We can either drive over the night before and spend the night at a nearby campground, or it's doable to drive over in the morning and back that night with a VERY early start (like 3:30am).
You'll want to be in good enough shape to gain the 3800 ft in elevation (4 Mt Pisgahs) and hike and climb for a 10 hour day. You'll also want to be comfortable with exposure. Super fun day and great feeling of accomplishment to bag your first technical peak.

Trip Report

Seven of us summited Mt Thielsen on September 10. We started at 4am. We started early because a Mazama group was climbing that day as well. We were back at the trail head in 9 hours. It was a zippy group and we had a beautiful day. It was the first time on Thielsen for four of the seven climbers.
