I think it would also be reasonable to climb the E Ridge of Forbidden descend to the Boston Glacier to camp. Then climb the NF Buckner up over and out home.
Camping on the Boston Sahale Col is a great idea. I think that is the photo taken on the REd Beckey book cover there! The views dont get any better either. However camping on the Boston Glacier would be a wild majestic setting if you ask me.
Just hope the NF shrunds dont get too big or impassable by late August. Might need a GPS around those if they do haha. Seriously though they are getting larger. I dont know anything about getting over or around Ripsaw Ridge.
Have a good time on your trip.
