Mt. Shuksan had been on our list of mountains to climb for quite a while. It would be a new climb for most of us. So we made plans and headed north. We got off to an early start so we could make this a day trip. Here we are above the treeline heading for the glacier.
We were in and out of the fog and clouds for most of the morning.
This is one of the steeper sections of the Sulfide Glacier.

The easy rock climb up the summit pyramid makes for a great finish on this climb.
