Not sure the power of a few great climbers is gonna get you up to 8K. Several hundred-thousand dollars, 20 porters, and oxygen, on the other hand...
This is a Guided trip for 15k here
Not sure where you got the hundreds of thousands... Cost without a guide??? Not sure. Affordable to some though

We did with 1 60m rope.. but did come short on 2 of the raps.. one wasn't too bad.. the other "the last one" was in a sketchy spot. I held onto the ends of the rope while reaching with other arm to clip daisy into slings.. Just be aware. Saves the steep downclimbing of the couloir, which I've never done, so maybe someone else can give better beta on that option.

800 ft up Royal arches variation. Fell 60 ft. Cratered on ledge. Unhurt. Why use ropes?
Were you right above 2 fixed pins under a little bulge.. I took a big whipper there when my foot got stuck in the crack.

I recommend down climbing the gully to 5 rappels onto the snow of the glacier.. Skip down climbing the couloir.. 2 of the rappels end before the next set of slings, so don't rap off the end. Just a few moves of down climbing to the next slings.

During my knee recovery I binged on Teton Gravity Research DVD's. Some awesome big mountain footage, amazing lines, and some amazing stunts. great music as well.

Might be a little late in the season for any snow climbs.. but the rock can be good.. I'd suggest.. Going up fishook creek trail, going back to the basin right below mt. thompson and williams peak.. both are nice scrambles with great views.. Continue down to the fish hook creak basin, traversing high to aviod swamp and thickets.. and climb horstman peak... more incredible views... the sickle couloir may still be in.. I've climbed it late in July before... It is super duper fun, and if conditions are right, you just need light ice axe and some step kicking shoes.. You can loop up to Mt Reagan.. another great view.. at sawtooth lake there.. and over the short pass, alpine peak is nice... and then exit to the north hwy22 "can't remember the trailhead" ..it's an easy hitchike back to redfish lake..
I have details and more pic's if interested. Unfortunately all the good pics, are film prints.. Only these one's from last month are digital..
Don't let ppl say "there's no ice in the sawtooths"
