Shuksan - Fisher Chimneys

Overview:

The Fisher Chimneys route is an exciting scramble to reach the summit of Shuksan. The route begins from the Lake Ann Trail near the Baker Ski Area. Follow the trail until the lake and then ascend the Fisher Chimneys, a 4th glass chimney system to the base of Winnies slide. Climb Winnies slide to the Upper Curtis glacier, where we will travel over crevassed terrain to reach Hells Highway. Ascending Hells highway will deposit the team on the Sulphide glacier. Ascending the sulphide will take us to the base of the summit pyramid. Ascend the summit pyramid on 4th class rock or steep snow/ice to the summit. Descent is via the same route.
