via Sulphide Glacier
Originally planned for Fisher Chimney route but due to late season rockfall and ice, switched around the other side. Beautiful day! Great climb.

Great weather. Dry rock all the way to the summit. As an aside, to illustrate the truth of the statement in the overview: When I was in Kathmandu to do a trek to Everest, the lobby of the guest house I stayed in had a huge wall size photograph of a mountain on the wall facing the check-in. Was it Everest? No. It was Shuksan! True story.

I lead a Seattle Mountaineers Climb of the Price Glacier
Six climbers if I remember correctly. Some serious ice climbing with just a 31" ice axe in those days. We all made it three days. Total endeavor was spectacular.

Shuksan North Face
Great climb with 5000 feet exposure on great snow. A day in, a day climbing, and a day out.

Suphide Gl.
Shuksan attempt on skis. Day trip via Suphide glacier. By the time we got to the summit pyramid, the snow was way too soft to climb it safely. Awesome day.

Amazing Place
Rained overnight... got up twice to check the sky. At 8:00 AM we decided to hike from lower camp to glacier to see if weather would improve... just kept on going with clearing skies and puffy clouds. NO ONE ELSE ON ROUTE!

Sulphide!
Still my favorite summit view to date. Perfect weather and the summit to ourselves. Wish we could've spent more time up there.

Scramble up the gulley was a lot of fun! Great views all around. Had to hurry out of there because thunderstorms and rain were incoming.

Can't believe Matt didn't have crampons
Climbed in two days via Sulphide with Matt Lemke and Don Nguyen with Josh turning back early due to an old RMI. Don lapped us while we nervously kicked steps on the summit pyramid. We knew what we had got ourselves into and I wasn't looking forward to the descent on steep ice. Somehow we survived the folly and the rest of the day went fine and slushy. Except for the falling over 100 times on skis with a heavy pack part. and the avalanche. those parts sucked. But hey, great view. I highly recommend BRINGING CRAMPONS and knowing how to ski before hand, unless you want to be awesome like us.

What an incredible climb! I did the summit pyramid (AI 2 at the time) without crampons...although this isn't advised. Incredible summit view above all the low clouds.

Fisher Chimneys in 2 days, with a 5.4 variation over the ridge on the right side of the route as it ascends Winnie's Slide. Awesome.. just damn incredible.

Contained all the components of the epitome of a mountaineering adventure!Summitted via Shannon Ridge. Pleasant approach trail, non-stressful route finding, snow slogging, glacier traversing, 4th (and optional 5th) class scrambling fun!
