Ascent Trip ReportFrom my Pacific Crest Trail journal (www.trailjournals.com/northerner): When we did start hiking, though, we moved at a pretty good pace, while we stared up at ever-approaching Mt. Thielsen. This was another peak I had wanted to do, especially after seeing its needle-like pinnacle, which looked particularly challenging. When we reached the summit trail, Batteries Included was eating a morning snack. We snacked for a few minutes as well, and then the three of us hiked up together. It was very steep the whole way, though not technically difficult until the very top. When you reached the needle-like peak, climbing up it was a little sketchy without a rope, but certainly not dangerous if you were careful. We all peaked and looked out over Diamond Lake and several mountains that we could see from there. We could also see just enough into the caldera of Mt. Mazama to view Crater Lake. Puck started up shortly after us, so we waited for him at the top. He flew up the mountain and joined us for a few minutes at the top. We then all descended, passing by along the way what probably amounted to about 20 people, who were all climbing. Bandanna and Rob were two of these people.
