DPS Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Can someone offer approach beta for the North Face of Shuksan. I cannot seem to make sense of the directions in Select Climbs. Where does one park and start from? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 park at the ski lodge. the road is on the left as you round the hairpin turn, a mile or so before the main road ends. walk up the dirt road on the west (right) side of the valley until you come to a clearcut on the left. leave the road here, heading downhill, and cross the river in the valley. i would try to gain the arm that leads to the north shoulder, rather than thrashing through the valley.

If you are choosing to head up the valley, be mindful of avalanches off of Shuksan Arm and the White Salmon. This should be a good weekend for it!

Cascadian Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Do NOT try thrashing through the valley. Pain in the butt. I hear the forest ridge is better. Curious to find out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Check the trip report on www.bivouac.com, or the beta in ALPINE SELECT (with photo!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
