Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
Activity Notes
Mount Shuksan via Fisher Chimney's is an exceptionally beautiful climb with gorgeous views throughout. On a clear day you can see Mount Baker, next door and Canada to the north.
Shuksan offers a bit of everything - a long approach, low 5th class scrambling, roped up glacier travel, more low 5th class climbing, a series of long rappels and a death march back the way we came. That said, it demands participants are in great shape and that they are comfortable with low 5th class climbing. Without both of those, what should be fun, will be painful and slow.
