[TR] Shuksan- Sulfide Glacier 5/14/2006

[Jim]

Climb: Shuksan-Sulfide Glacier

 

Date of Climb: 5/14/2006

 

Trip Report:

I couldn't spare two days this past weekend for the ski fest so a handful of us did a day trip up the Sulfide. We had no permit for the summit but that was ok as it looked like a cluster with several slow parties. The glacier ski was great and the weather perfect. I'd been up there before but in marginal conditions and saw little. So this was good. I pitied the folks without skis who had a bit post-hole event awaiting. Below the col things got mushy but better in the trees.

Approach Notes:

The road was snow free to within a mile of the road end. That should begin to melt out soon.
