Description:
We will be ascending Mount Thielsen via the West Ridge. More information on the route can be found here: https://www.summitpost.org/west-ridge/155580. It is close to 4000’ elevation gain and 10 miles round trip. The last 100’ are on fairly good rock. We will have fixed ropes to ascend the summit pitch and then we’ll rappel down at the end.
The climb starts at 5:00 AM on the 20th so climbers may want to camp at the trailhead the night of the 19th. A Northwest Forest Pass is required at the trailhead.
