On July 3, Matt Callahan made a solo ascent of Thiel Peak (5,910’; 58°41’49.0”N, 134°45’31.8”W). Callahan approached from the north end of the Juneau road system via the Davies Creek drainage, reached the saddle between Thiel and Dean Peak (Peak 5,883’), then scrambled the long west and southwest ridge to the summit (4th class and snow). The round trip was 22 miles and 7,700’ of elevation gain. See more in The Scree, November 2023, published by the Mountaineering Club of Alaska.
