| Climbed Thielsen half a dozen times in '79 and '80. Spectacular mountain, dramatic climb. Surprisingly easy despite wicked appearance | |

| AlexeyD | smoky! | |
| Lots of folks out on mountain despite the hazy conditions due to the nearby forest fires. Brought a rope and some gear for the summit pinnacle and happily used it to quickly bypass a party with a fixed line by climbing around them up slightly more technical terrain on the left (felt like low fifth class). Would likely be OK without rope on the standard variation, but why not? | |

| splattski | Fun day Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2012 | |
| We went light and had the summit pinnacle to ourselves, even on a busy Saturday with 14 cars in the parking lot. Trip report | |

| rick6003 | Mt Theilson, so much fun Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2011 | |
| Actually , I have climbed Theislon a few times. I did it solo and with no ropes the first time. Second time was with a group and we used a fixed line. Going again in August with a group I will be leading. Its a very fun climb always. The veiw is amazing and standing out on the pinnacle is quite thrilling. It a long ways down. It is a easy climb but a mistake will have some serious consequences. | |

| Redwic | Blue Skies, No Lightning Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2012 | |
| I asked Thor and Zeus to each keep their lightning spears away while I was at the mountain. ;-) The Mount Thielsen Trail was easy, then the climber's trail was enjoyable and scenic, and then the last 80' ascent was the icing on the mountain cake. First successful summiter of the day, and solo. The summit views were spectacular in all directions. At the ledge I enjoyed the company of Marie and Gene (the latter of whom summited right after me), and I had several great conversations with climbers during the descent. Several of them convinced me that I should visit nearby Mount Scott while I was in the area, and that I could not hope for better weather. I became convinced to tag another Top 100 peak that was not on my original "to do" list for this trip. But, ultimately, Mount Thielsen was the highlight of my weekend. This was the fourth (and, in my opinion, the best) of seven Top 100 peaks summited in Oregon during a 3-1/2 day timeframe. | |

| nicozone | Mazama Climb Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2012 | |
| Went on a Mazama climb for this one. The weather couldn't have been any nicer; blue skies without a single cloud. We roped up for the summit pinnacle, since we were a group of 10 and the club policy says you have to. But I don't think I will rope up again next time I go on my own. | |

| santanoni | Not too bad Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2011 | |
| Looks hairy from the base, but the pitch at the end is not so bad. Looking down the north face though, now there's some exposure. | |

| bedellympian | great tip Date Climbed: Oct 20, 2011 | |
| Friend in Ashland told me to go for it since I was headed North through Crater Lake. Exhilirating scramble. | |

| sprosseda | Very nice summit Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2011 | |
| Heavy snow year, so some of the trail in woods was lost in the snow. Solo trad lead 1 pitch to summit and anchored rope for others coming up later on. Great view, great day, fun class 4 rock. Bathed in Diamond Lake afterwards. Very enjoyable! | |

| Icemansurf | Solo Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2011 | |
| Only one car in the parking lot, guy was going down as I went up. I didn't have any information about the trail or climb except the map at the trailhead, so I wasn't expecting to make the summit. Snow on the trail through the trees, absolutely NOBODY around, made it up the ridge and scouted the summit. Went up one way and saw certain death on the NW ridge, then went around the SE side and Class 4ed my ass up. Definitely some exposure but the holds are nice. Super stoked to make the top. Nice day with incredible views, a little over 3 hours up. The decent included face planting in the snow after sliding on my feet a little too fast, and losing the trail in the snow, but getting back on with about a mile to go. | |

| This is one of those climbs that you can do without a rope, but you kind of wished you had one halfway up, and especially to rap down on. Great climb - very small summit with 6 people on it. | |

| mrbynum | Labor Day weekend 2010 Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2010 | |
| Had a fantastic time climbing, managed to get a group of 9 up and down safely. Set a fixed line on the way up and used a second rope for a rap down. Fantastic weather for the majority of the day with a couple of clouds rolling over the summit as we descended the scree. Even with a 7AM start there were plenty of people in line to head up the summit block, ended up taking an extra couple of hours beyond the estimated round trip time. | |
