Rick will lead us in another adventure up the "Jewel of The Cascades". We have a full team again this year, which should make for an excellent trip.

3. Mt. Shuksan, Fisher Chimneys - July 25-27

RESCHEDULED - NEW DATES!

My original co-leader, Matt Vancampen, had to pull off this climb. Some lame excuse -- he's getting married! Congrats to Matt and Andrea! Because their wedding is on the same weekend as our original climb weekend, we're pushing it back to the last weekend of July.

The Fisher Chimney's route on Mt Shuksan is a Northwest classic. I climbed the route back in 2004 and it definitely gets your attention! Every member of this climb team will have important responsibilities. If you're looking to clip in, stare at the butt in front of you and slog up the mountain, you've come to the wrong place!
