Mount Shuksan via Sulphide Glacier for some corn farming, mostly sharing for conditions update.
Th > 3.5 miles to Shannon Ridge is a slog.
Fun turns to be had around 7,000FT
We did not get up to the Summit Pyramid, but heard it was snow with some mixed moves from other parties.
Gear Notes:
GPS track extremely handy for descent through the woods
Approach Notes:
TH to ~3.5 miles to " the notch" is more efficient to boot pack at this point. We didn't pull out skins until we were atop Shannon Ridge.
