danhelmstadter Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Trip: Shuksan - sulphide + pyramid Date: 1/22/2010 Trip Report: I left the TH a little late ~8:30, not to stoked about the cold I had woken up with. Summited in the warm windless afternoon. I skiied the pyramid chute from ~15 feet below the summit (too much rime ice on the lip of the ridge to ski from exact summit) lots of soft variable and rime in the chute, then crust-variable conditions down the Sulphide, but there were fun turns had. Here is a recent arial pic of the upper route, taken by John Scurlock on the 19th of Jan. Thanks John! http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/121248282 I didn't take too many pics, just a few on the summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesman Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Looks like a great trip - could you drive to the trailhead and were you able to skin from the lot? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhelmstadter Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I could drive to the trailhead in my '83 2wd beater, there was a ways of dirt-trail hikeing before the skinning began. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
