Description

Mt. Shuksan (9,127'), the most photographed mountain in the world, is a massive, complex mountain which offers abundant learning opportunities and is an excellent location for the beginning or advanced climber to gain valuable mountaineering experience. According to Northwest climbing legend Fred Beckey this peak “is one of the finest mountaineering objectives and epitomizes the jagged alpine peak like no other massif in the North Cascades.” I wouldn't try to climb this in the winter though... enjoy...

Well how could I have lived in Oregon all my life and missed this mountain? I am not familiar with it at all. This is a stunning photograph, Akemi. If you have more photographs of it I hope you post another one or two.

I find that as far as I am concerned that this is an excellent shot with great contrast keep up the good work. People need to know what the NW. has to offer!!!!!

Fantastic photo! I'd love to photograph something like this, but I'll leave the climbing in freezing weather to someone else... ;o) Beautiful!

Beautiful capture! (Though I would have thought Mt. Rainier or Mt. St. Helens would had been photographed much more) Goes to google lol :) Kudos! Actually, due to sheer tourism, I believe Mount Rushmore wins the prize :) Cheers and the best! Kurt

I've read about this being the most photographed mountain, especially in the summer with the reflection of this mountain in mirror lake? right?? This is a gorgeous shot Akemi!!!!!!

Oooooooooo, Akemi-san! Such grandeur displayed for all to behold!! Really a killer shot, I don't care how many times it's been shot..I'm sure this one ranks right up there as one of the top shots!! Excellent shot! Looks way too cold for this hawaiian, but lovely to look at on my monitor! Aloha~
