bvl Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Trip: Mt. Shuksan - Sulphide glacier Date: 5/10/2009 Trip Report: I got sick on not seeing any new trip reports so here are a few pictures from this weekend. We skinned up to camp Saturday evening and got a late alpine start Sunday morning Morning light on Baker Skinning towards the summit pyramid Summit pyramid We taged the summit as the clouds were starting to obscure the views and headed down for Mothers day lunch, just a few hours late. Approach Notes: Road is almost clear to the trailhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarHeelEMT Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 How are things on the summit pyramid? Does the loose snow still on it make it relatively sketchy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvl Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Somebody had already kicked steps up, so we followed his tracks which made it rather nice. We didn't use any special gear for the pyramid, wore crampons, probably didn't need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy and I are doing that route, but hopefully summiting on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelnagle Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Flying out there from New Hampshire in two weeks. Do we need snowhoes to approach the Sulphide? Road access? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
