	1908 Shuksan First Ascent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		MOUNT SHUKSAN, situated in the northern part of Washington, about sixteen miles northeast of Mount Baker, was, so far as we could learn, never climbed until our ascent made in August, 1906.
		The mountain is the highest point left of the primary upheaval and is a beautiful mass of igneous rock with cascade glaciers flowing outward on all sides, except the north, from a central snow field.
		We left a record of the ascent in a glass jar under the cairn that we built, claiming the ascent in honor of the Sierra and Mazama Clubs of which we were members.
