Mount Shuksan — Monday, Jun. 27, 2016

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
I had an amazing climb up Mount Shuksan (via the Shannon Ridge Trail and the Sulphide Glacier) with Mount Baker Mountain Guides. We camped around 6700' and the next morning we were roped up and moving by 4am. The Summit Pyramid is tricky and technical but our fantastic guide Mike lead us through it without incident. We had the summit to ourselves, soaking in the views that stretched on forever. Rappelling back down to the glacier was one of the highlights for me, along with being high up in the North Cascades for sunset and sunrise.
