Mount Shuksan is the often-photographed jewel of the Cascades. Stunning from every aspect and in every season, its major faces and ridge lines provide excellent climbing in classic North Cascades style. The classic Fisher Chimneys route provides a wide range of terrain including old growth forest walking, exposed scrambling, moderate ice climbing, and glacier travel. An incredible campsite high in the mountains and a tiny summit add to the allure of this climb.
