hahaha. This brings up memories. I took a spontaneous trip up there, to do the Quieben Sabe Glacier. I took the trail up to below the Sahale Arm and realized I was way to far towards the wrong side of the mountain (I didn't study the trip description very well aparently). I then preceeded to go straight up towards the arm, then left towards the other side of the mountain. So yes, there is a direct way. Is it reasonable? Not really.
