off_the_hook Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Climb: Sahale Peak-Sahale Arm/Glacier Date of Climb: 7/7/2005 Trip Report: With time and weather constrictions, we climbed Sahale Peak on Thursday. Even though I have done this route many times, the setting and reward is still very worthwhile. We had great weather and pleasant temps. I know that my visiting friend, new to the cascades, enjoyed the trip. We set out from Cascade Pass at 9:10 am, summited at just after noon, chilled until 12:50 when a large group approached from the Quien Sabe Glacier, and made it back to the car at 3:20 pm. Sahale Glacier is still a snowfield with generally good conditions for kicking steps. The final summit bloc was straightforward and I was glad we had some time before the large group showed up. Using my previous trips here as a barometer, it seems there is much less snow than usual below Sahale Glacier Camp, but approaching more normal levels above the camp. Gear Notes: ice axe Approach Notes: virtually snow free to sahale glacier camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanH Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I was one of the other guys that went up via the Sahale Arm that day. In the time that it took us to eat and rope up for the glacier, you guys had crossed it and started up the rock. You are lucky to have summited before the big guided group; they really took their time rapping down. Fun climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
