Custom RMI trip led by Henry Coppollilo successfully summitted Mt. Shuksan. The team ascended via the Fisher Chimneys, a classic route that involves a mix of hiking, rock climbing, and glacier travel through beautiful North Cascade terrain.
The team is back at camp now, and said they had a lovely day.
Great work, team!
