jspitzer Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Trip: Fisher Chimney's Mt Shuskan - Shuskan Date: 9/20/2011 Trip Report: Hello Climbed Shuskan via Fisher Chimney the other day. Route is in excellent condition. The trail to Lake Ann is almost 100% melted out. There is a large moat on the snow crossing before the the 4th class rock section before fisher chimney proper. Fisher Chimney's are all snow free. Winne's slide is all snow and no blue ice! We camped above winne's slide. Only 2 tent sites are melted out up there. The climb from high camp is in great condition. A short section of glacier ice right out of camp approx 100ft. The Upper Curtis had only one major crevasse crossing can be avoided be going out left. Hells Highway looked like it does in mid-July, except for a large crevasse at the top Hells Highway. Climbed the SE ridge and descended the South Gully conditions were normal on the pyramid. Here's a link to my website with photo's from the climb snowrockandiceadventures.com Looks like conditions will change after this weekends storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
