Farewell to Mount Shuksan
We descended from the summit via the same central gully we had climbed, rapelling down two rope lengths to avoid downclimbing some of the looser sections. Passing the bergschrund was easy on the way down, and then we headed down the west edge of the Sulphide Glacier. From the notch just north of Point 7935, we can see the upper portion of the Curtis Glacier immediately to our west, with Lake Ann again visible in the valley and the prominent Ptarmigan Ridge of Mount Baker along the upper left skyline.
