North American Classic Climbs

Mount Shuksan

Price Glacier

A superb tour of an exquisitely beautiful mountain. The ascent is by the most scenic and interesting side, but you will likely circumnavigate every aspect in the three days this climb typically requires. The ice climbing is easy, but late in the season the bergschrund becomes impassible and the rock is rotten and tricky.
