- Description:
-
This hike was a weak attempt at All Mixed Up.
The route was getting climbed and we decided to check it out. Jeff
had a friend in town, so the three of us hiked into Mills Lake and
beyond. The approach to the lake was easy, and then we started to
gain elevation quickly through the trees to the east face of Thatchtop
Mountain. We worked our way to the base of the climb which ended
up being somewhat strenuous. Once at the slab first pitch, it was
fairly evident that there wasn't nearly as much ice as when Jeff climbed
it last Spring. Jeff and I didn't want to start out the season in
over our heads since neither of us had swung the tools much yet this
year. We simply scrambled back down to the lake and called it a
day. It was a little disappointing to talk to some climbers who
were up at Black Lake Slabs that said the first pitch generally doesn't
come in fat, but oh well. I guess we'll try again.
