Mount Shuksan
United States
Located just east of Mount Baker, Mount Shuksan is one of the most photogenic peaks in the North Cascades. Its name, derived from the Lummi word for "high peak," perfectly describes its dramatic presence. Shuksan’s rugged profile and alpine features attract climbers from around the world, with its Sulphide Glacier route being a popular choice for those seeking a moderately technical climb.
The Sulphide Glacier route offers an engaging mix of glacier travel and a rock scramble to the summit pyramid, where careful route-finding is key. The Fisher Chimneys route, while more advanced, is another classic line for experienced climbers looking for a challenge. The mountain’s lower elevations are adorned with wildflower meadows, while its upper slopes offer a true alpine playground.
Summiting Shuksan is a fulfilling experience, providing sweeping views of Mount Baker, the Picket Range, and the deeply glaciated valleys below. Whether you're here for the climb or simply the stunning scenery, Shuksan embodies the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
