Connected NW couloir to North Face Route

Bob Richards and I climbed an interesting little route between the NW Couloir and the classic North Face Route of Mt Shuksan. Ascended the left edge of couloir & gained sixty degree ramp which led to a shawdowy dihedral. Ascended dihedral straight up to the upper western corner of North Face. A fun climb on decent rock and safer from objective danger than either the NW Couloir of North Face routes, which we also have climbed. We favored this route over both of those. Mostly 4th class with some mid 5th class. Maybe 8 pitches.
