Very long and strenuous climb requiring excellent scrambling skills with full overnight pack. Probably not a good first climb.
Please contact Daniel outlining your climbing/scrambling experience and your conditioning routine (no need to do so if you already requested permission via the form).
The lineup will be determined in the first week of May. It may involve a lottery if there are more students than spots available on the climb.

Post climb note: We ended up not getting permits for camping above the chimneys on Shuksan. Since there was no climb on nearby Baker we climbed Coleman/Deming instead. The website doesn't allow changing the route/place post climb, hence adding this note here instead.
