Shuksan / Fisher Chimneys Conditions

[Johannes]

Hey guys,

 

I am planning to climb Shuksan with a friend in 2 weeks. Does anybody know about the current conditions? Is the Fisher Chimneys route doable this time of the year? Or should we look for alternatives?

 

Thanks!

When I looked down the chimneys a month ago, it wasn't totally covered. Now it probably is. Plus, it gets cooked in the sun all day. I wouldn't climb it until you can see more rock. Why not just walk up the sulphide or white salmon glacier? Maybe the north face?

How about the Class 4ish on the SW Face?

The beta for Shuksan at this time of the year: pick a route you can ski, and ski it.
