Fast on Shuksan you can. Sulphide Glacier is much more direct. But Fisher Chimneys is aesthetically amazing and offers a dabble of everything PNW. Old growth and a glacier valley, an alpine lake, route finding and scrambling, then short but really impressive glacier and snow travel, before the summit block.

Both times we have bivied at the base of the Upper Curtis glacier. But the second time, it was like 3pm and we got there and were planning to camp and do the alpine start thing. But asked ourselves if we'd be better served just going for it?

We made it back to our bivy spot right as it really got dark (one party member (3 of us) just really went slow on the glacier, they were pretty beat).

But it was the most amazing way to do it. Nothing like an incredible high camp with the summit in the bag. And I'd carried a few beers up too so that was nice too..

Slept great that night even as crazy jabroni parties came next to and over our bivy at various points. So glad we weren't in that shit show. Had the summit to ourselves like 1.5hr before sundown. Was great
