jkeller Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Climb: Mount Thielsen-The usual route - SW ridge Date of Climb: 6/10/2006 Trip Report: Nothing real exciting, just thought I would report the snow levels. I hit snow at about 6,000 ft - right after the Spruce Ridge trail junction. I followed the trail until just past the wilderness boundary, then wandered uphill through the trees until I popped out on the SW ridge. Good snow until about 8,000 ft then a scree slog up to Chicken Point. This is a fantastic summit! Gear Notes: Crampons - used but didn't really need them. Ice axe - didn't need. Rope and harness - wished I had when I came down off the summit. Would have saved a drenching of flop sweat and a case of the shakes. Approach Notes: Bring insect repellent if you plan on stopping anywhere between the trailhead and about 7,000 ft. I almost had to run down to avoid the swarming skeetters.

John Frieh Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 See any bolts? How many and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeller Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 I saw two bolts: one on top with a long red sling and another down at Chicken Point. The second one is pretty useless IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
