Well, fresh from viewing the Fisher
Chimneys report and photos, I had glanced thru the 3 Fingered Jack
climb photos. Whoa! Not that there's anything wrong in the 3FJ
report or the photography itself, but seeing images of what
purports to be a "rock-like" surface (and I use the term
charitably) should be enough to incentivize folks to come to the
North Cascades. Don't get me wrong - as a young pup back in the
80's, we'd climbed both 3FJ and the Ugly (north) Sister (twice, no
less!), but some those surfaces/walls look as if some drunk and
crazed nozzleman had recklessly sprayed a gunite/shotcrete slurry
over the land, then departed without any attempt to consolidate or
compact the material. Arrgh! I can see why Shonee is delighted to
do the SE ridge on Shuksan!
