Chimneying with a side of Freedom  Sucess!

Had a blast on the Fisher's Chimneys route to ring in independence day. Fun route to solo; a bit wonky in mountaineering boots.

What a monster  Sucess!

Wow - all I can say after tackling the most technically challenging LONG summit day of summer 2015. 4:45am departure from Lake Ann, 6:30pm arrival time back at camp. Chimney's are juggy and fun, but a workout. Winnie's Slide was some crampon toe pointing and axe swinging (necessary rappel downclimb). Plenty of pro in the places you needed it on the summit pyramid - probably 25 people up top by the time we got there. Nothing blown out just yet with respect to cracks

Amazing Climb  Sucess!

awesome climb with a ton of variation. A lot of crevasses severely limited our route choices but we got there eventually. Down climbing and lowering in the Chimneys had its moments but overall a great intermediate level climb. We did it in two days which was ambitious but good to be home.

Atypical rain summer 2015

Shuksan is going to make me earn it ... multiple weeks of near drought conditions met our 2 day climbing plans last weekend with constant / consistent rain, making the first chimney (full of wet vegetation) a risk not worth taking. Round two end of month hopefully ...

superb trip  Sucess!

It took 4 days, but the final 600' scramble was SO worth all the effort.

Fischer Chimneys/SE Rib  Sucess!

Great route! Primo conditions on Winnies slide and Hell's Highway. Definitely finish on the SE Rib......great, mellow simul-climbing with fun exposure and outstanding views. Watch out for the mounties rappelling down the gully! Party of 12 kicking rocks and shouting at each other. We unroped and blew past them as quickly as possible. Fun stuff

Fisher Chimneys, sort of  Sucess!

After getting off route, I slogged up the ridge next to the White Salmon Glacier on the way up, intersecting the correct route near the top of the glacier. Taking the proper route on the way down was much easier and more fun. A mellow day on a nice-looking mountain. Trip report.

Sulphide Glacier  Sucess!

Couldn't ask for better conditions! At night the temps were in the mid 50s at high camp. Sky was a little hazy from all the forest fires. We climbed the SE ridge and might have gotten a little off course, because we ran into some 5.7-5.8ish moves.

8800 ft

The problems started when they had sold out the permits. We had to camp low and I couldn't talk anyone into getting an early start. Having not been there we had no idea how long it would take to hike up. By the time we got to the pyramid, folks were coming down. We scrambled up the central gully to 8800 ft but were continuously dodging rocks from climbers rappelling down. After I got hit on the head with a rock I decided to bag a summit attempt. I must say though, it was was beautiful up there and I will go back next year and climb the S.E. Rib. I'll also procure my permit a little earlier. Well worth the hike, but mine turned into a scouting mission.

Fishers Chimneys  Sucess!

#1 07-11-14 Excellent two-day adventure with excellent Mt. Baker Mountain Guides John and Jenni Minier. Camped at the "Eagle's Nest." Loved the upper Curtis Glacier, Hell's Highway and the approach to the summit pyramid. What a terrific varied hike - it offers some of everything and then some. Quite the day when you summit and then come out all the way back to Austin Pass TH. IVD #2 07-04-23 W/Lana, Rick,Joe and Northwest Mountain Guides Brian & Dustin. Fisher Chimneys route. Long summit day.

Fisher Chimneys  Sucess!

Great route, couldn't find the chimneys going up, which made for a spicy variation. The upper Curtis glacier was a bit icy making our extra ice tool a great asset as well as a few ice screws.

Sulphide Glacier + SE Rib solo  Sucess!

8hrs car to car (on 3hrs of sleep), the DAY AFTER doing two peaks and over 6500' of elevation gain in the Enchantments. SE Rib was fun, with about 3 sections each of 5.4 and Class 4. Downclimbed the standard gully.

Beautiful but no summit

The mixture of ice, snow and rock made it a real struggle that was a little much for us this time. I might want to redo this in August.
