The classic, standard route on Shuksan. We will hike in and camp at Lake Ann on Saturday, have an alpine start early on Sunday to attempt the peak. Due to group size, I would like to take two different routes on the summit pyramid in order minimize possible rockfall and exposure from above: one party climbs class 3/4 gully, and the other party climbs the 5.4 SE rib. We can further discuss these options in detail. The trip will be dependent on the weather.
A short summary of the route can be found here: http://www.summitpost.org/fisher-chimneys/155674
