North Rib
I loosely followed the the rib, staying on slabs to the west of it.
The summit registry was scattered down the east face, It did not look accidental. There was one kid(late teens) who left the summit just after I gained the ridge. THe couple I'd talked to the day before metioned nothing about it. I'm guessing it was the kid. Heard some rock falls from the summit as well, as if tossed over the edge. I did what I could to start a new registry but my pen broke.
I concluded that Tyndall is a very feasible dayhike -- after I schlepped a big pack up to the Pass, it was all of 12:30 PM. With lighter shoes and a daypack, an earlier start, plus picking up most water on the way, it would be less than other stuff we have done.

June 29 report
I went solo up the northwest ridge, then down the standard route.
It was really fun and much better rock than I expected. I had to detour west around some obstacles.
This is a beautiful mountain with excellent views, highly recommended.

north rib
Met many great people on way. A two-fer day with Williamson. Was sick in AM, but came through. Thanks to Ryan for encouraging words. Don't slip on the BBQ sauce.

NW ridge
Solo from the "notch". Definitely some >class 2 climbing involved.

North Rib, the way to go
Attempted the Northwest Ridge last year and got off route at the top. Decided to go with the North Rib this time. Direct, solid climbing and easy rout finding. Great Class 3.

Tough approach
Did the class 3 rib route. It was a fun and quick ascent. The approach over the shepard's pass was the hardest part.

NW Ridge
Climbed up the NW ridge and came down the North Rib. Williamson looked intimidating from the summit but was not so bad once at the base of the mountain. Climbed Williamson the following day.

Turns in March
Toting a splitboard and skis Peter and I toped out via the NW face, and then descended nearly 6000 feet, although not continuously. Very high winds the two evenings before our descent made for some very crusty and mixed snow conditions. Had the mountain and Shepherd's Pass all to ourselves for four days, great trip!

Tasty
As Rocketsredglare said, mmmmmm.....sure was a tasty rib especially for my first full course 14er. Shepards pass and Tyndall didnt stand a chance. I really enjoyed the accelerated heartbeat as table sized boulders were dislodged from under our feet going up the rib. Oh ya....has anyone seen my wet sandwich???

TyndallClimbed the Northwest Ridge and descended the North Rib. The ridge was harder then I thought it would be. Alot of fun coming down the rib though.

North RibFun route, but with the potential for lots of exposure depending on your route.

So closeI still call this success even though I missed the summit proper. The approach is too long to go back!
