Trip: Shuksan SE Rib - Sulphide / SE Rib

 

Date: 7/5/2013

 

Trip Report:

Fantastic climb in great weather. Highly recommend this variation instead of the rockfall and crowds on the standard route. An airy route with great views and easy low fifth climbing with occasional 5.6 moves. Easy to protect with small nuts and many many horns.

 

Note: My camera disappeared on the descent. If anyone comes/came across a 10 .1 Megapixel Olympus Stylus (Green) with photos of our climb I would greatly appreciate it's return. A reward in beer or Starbucks would be forthcoming should it return to me.

 

 

Gear Notes:

Slings and a small set of nuts.

60 m rope

 

Approach Notes:

Standard Sulphide approach.

At base of summit pyramid look for obvious notch on righthand skyline. Start of climb is just to the left in a small corner. Look for crampon scratched rocks. Climb can be done in ~4 long pitches but rope drag can become an issue. Stay on top of the ridge line for best climbing with bypasses available on the left. Rappel standard route.

So glad you posted about your camera, because I happened to look down at the right time on our descent and see it, and since had been looking here, on TAY, and NWHikers for the "Lost" post. Assuming CC works like TAY, I'll PM you.
