Then you probably don't remember the tyrolean.

Did you make it up there, Matt?

Per Secor:
Regulare Route...Begin by climbing the southwest face of the thumb. Climb to a sloping ledge, which leads out onto the exposed east face. Climb the east face to the summit

Is this the approximate line of the route?


And I expect to receive a fair amount of disdain for this question, but could I set up a top rope for it, or does the traverse risk too much of a pendulum/cause heinous rope-drag with a directional?

I was all set to go with a partner in July, we got as far as the May Lake trailhead. But that was the day a wildfire filled the park with smoke, forced evacuations and closed roads, so we decided to hold off. Still itching to go, hope to get there this year.

Never climbed it but took a photo some years ago.

Mt. Hoffmann is on a short list for ideas for early October for me. If you beat me there I'd love to hear any beta you have, and if I beat you I'll share what I learn.
