| Redwic | The Highlight Of My Trip 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. 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. | |

| cdog | Memorial Day success Date Climbed: May 26, 2003 | |
| first time up was Memorial Day 2003. Weather was iffy all weekend, and my girlfriend and I spent the first couple nights in a tent on the west ridge. Finally on Monday the weather cleared and I was able to run up to the top. Awesome looking mountain. | |

| mtncorg | Nice scree! | |
| I agree that you can find a Class 3 route at the top. Great views and a magnificent scree ski on the return. | |

| big_g | What a fun finish! Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2003 | |
| I'd call this classic class 3 although no doubt class 4 is available. My partner and I didn't have much info on the route and were pleasantly surprise by the summit pyramid. What a fun finish! | |
