  • We found epic exposure on the North west Arete of Thielsen! I've been wanting to try this route for some time now! For my birthday, we set out to give it a shot. With a difficulty rating of 5.7, this would be one of my hardest alpine leads to date. The route did not disappoint! With over 1500 ft of air below your feet, the climbing was engaging and intense. I highly recommend this route for experienced climbers looking to spice up this awesome Oregon peak.

    Dude, I've been up this mountain the easy way twice, but this looks sick. Thanks for the views.

    Appears easy from far. But it is really tricky while climbing

    Nice video. Looks like a fun route. A point of clarification though, I have read that the final spire is between 80 and 120 feet. What length of rope have you used to safely rapell to the bottom of the spire?

      @@jaredempey5706 I've only rappelled it with a 60m rope, which is good. I believe a 50m should work on the standard route to get to the ledge.
