Topographic Architecture of Mount Shuksan

Mount Shuksan is a majestic, heavily glaciated mountain massif in the North Cascades of Washington, rising to an elevation of 2,780 metres inside North Cascades National Park. Renowned worldwide for its iconic pyramid-like summit pinnacle and reflections across Picture Lake, it is composed of ancient Shuksan blueschist and greenstone, crowned by a dozen hanging glaciers including the Curtis, Sulphide, and Price glaciers.

Geographical & Glacial Context: Located just eleven miles east of Mount Baker, Mount Shuksan is an ultra-scenic non-volcanic horn in the Skagit Range of the North Cascades. Its high relief, labyrinth of hanging glaciers, and sheer north-facing ramparts above Price Lake provide some of the finest technical alpine mixed and waterfall ice routes in the Pacific Northwest.
