Justin and I had a great trip in Boston Basin. We summited shark fin tower via se ridge then traversed the Boston Glacier to the North Ridge of Forbidden, camped there and ascended forbidden via North West face. We descended the West Ridge, camped at the high bivy, then climbed the South Ridge of Aguille De. Awesome adventure!

We made it to High Camp on Mt. Shuksan Fisher Chimneys route and the crew is feeling great. There is more snow up here than I've ever seen!
We've settled in and are going to have dinner and get to bed as early as we can.
We'll check in again after our climb.
