Fisher Chimney – Mount Shuksan

Posted on by Alpine Ascents
- Posted in: Cybercasts

Hello All,

John and I had a great day yesterday climbing on Mount Shuksan. We are attempting the Fisher Chimney route and climbed through the technical rocky Chimneys and the steep snowy Winnie’s Slide. Brilliant sunny weather all day and a fantastic sunset! Today is foggy and raining and we are hunkered down in our little tent. Our plan is to climb to the summit tomorrow via the Upper Curtis Glacier and the Southeast Ridge on the Summit Pyramid. Hopefully the weather clears for us!
