| Hiked up to the shoulder at the base of the thumb with my son (8yo) and niece (16yo). I didn't climb the thumb itself... I'm not a technical climber, just a runner, a hiker, and a scrambler. Nice 7-mile (rt) hike in thin air. Beautiful sights to the east and the west. I did hike several hundred feet up to the peak above the thumb while my son and niece ate lunch on the shoulder below. [Note: I didn't check that I was successful because I realize this page is for the thumb itself, even though I was successful in my goal of simply hiking to the base.] |
