Hey gang...all is good here on Shuksan. We're on top at 9:30 am with 100% success! The weather is perfect, with no clouds above us and barely a breath of wind. We have great views of many northwest peaks from Rainier to Canada.
We'll be in touch after we return to our camp.
Cheers,
RMI Guide Mike Walter

Good news from the North Cascades! The RMI office received the following text from RMI Guide Tyler Reid who is leading a group on Mt. Shuksan’s Fisher Chimneys:
“On the summit! It turned into a beautiful day, we had the mountain to ourselves. It was a great climb. I will send a text from camp. TR”
Nice work Tyler, Tim and Kevin!
Our Mt. Shuksan team is on the summit! We are taking in the beautiful weather and views as we relax before the descent. Couldn't ask for a better day to be on a mountain top.
Great job team!

100% of our team stood on the summit of Mount Shuksan this morning! The weather was perfect. We will descend back to camp today and head down the trail tomorrow. It's been a great day in the North Cascades!

The team did well practicing mountaineering skills today in preparation for our Mt. Shuksan summit bid in the morning. The weather was perfect and we had a great time out on the glacier today. We'll check in from the summit tomorrow.
