Mt. Shuksan: Elias & Team Summit Via the Fisher Chimneys Route

Elevation: 9,127'
What a day!
From the full moon that illuminated our wake up, to the radiant sun that shone all day, we had an incredible climb up the Fisher Chimneys Route, to the Curtis Glacier, to the summit pyramid. Few attempt the entire route from Lake Ann, but determined climbers seemed to push this guide up the mountain, and the long feat, was executed with ease. We're now crawling into our sleeping bags, after our camp dinner that tasted heavenly, since all we had all day was chocolates and bars...
The smoke from fires seems to be fading, and the ambiance from camp is rather idyllic.
We'll hike out tomorrow with hopes of enjoying a hearty brunch in town.
Good evening from Lake Ann!
