Activity Notes

Join me for a climb of Mt. Shuksan's Fisher Chimneys route. This is one of the classic alpine climbs in the Cascades. A breathtaking route full of scrambling, steep snow/alpine ice climbing, campsite with views of the Upper Curtis Glacier and Mt. Baker, glacier travel, more glacier travel, roped climbing up the summit pinnacle, down-climbing and rappelling.

Day 1: Hike/climb to high camp

Day 2: Summit attempt, return to camp

Day 3: Climb/hike out

Day 4: Back-up day or a more leisurely hike out, maybe camping at Lake Ann

Applicants must:

  • Have crevasse rescue training.
  • Be comfortable with exposed 4th class scrambling (up and down) while wearing a full pack.
  • Be comfortable with climbing steep snow.
  • Alpine rock climbing up to ~5.5
  • Be a proactive team member.
  • Be conscious of your pack weight. Group gear, food and ropes may make for a heavier pack than you are used to.
