About Fisher Chimneys
Climb through a glacier-carved valley past Lake Ann to a narrow ridge of rocky chimneys, where a high camp sits above the surrounding peaks. The route crosses three glaciers and includes Hell's Highway and Winnie's Slide, a snow climb that is one of its signature sections. Expect a mix of rock, snow and ice, with wide views across the Fisher Basin peaks.
