512dude Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Trip: Oregon Cascades - West Ridge Date: 5/11/2010 Trip Report: Mount Thielsen in winter conditions. Gear Notes: MSR Lightening shoes, ice axe, ski poles. Approach Notes: Used snowshoes - nice trail to the ridge and then follow your nose.

KirkW Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Way more snow and ice on that summit block than when we were out there a few weeks before. The summit block was spicy but still very doable with only one standard axe and no pons. Looks like you might have had a little more fun with those conditions!

Holk Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Looking good. I plan to camp out below East Peak sometime next month and if possible climb a gully I believe to run up Thielsen's south eastern face to about 8,000ft on the ridge. Thanks for sharing the images.
