Excellent trip report. Congrats on your climb.
After spending 5 days playing around in Boston Basin, my partner and I ended our visit to the by hiking in to Lake Ann to take a look at Shuksan. Awesome! I gotta climb it.
Anybody know what the Fisher chimneys might be like in October? I'm back home on the east coast, but would love to return to the Cascades and try Shuksan.
