You hit the mark, Curtveld. I was thinking the same about Hidden Lakes. Thanks for the insight. Can you be just a bit more specific on where the alternative campsites are located?

Hi all, First and likely only post on here. Heading into the North Cascades later this week and am looking for suggestions between Sahale, Vesper, and Hidden Lakes for an overnight trip. I've done a few summit trips myself, but the girlfriend has not. Looking for a summit scramble that's challenging, but won't be fatal in the event of a misstep. We will not have ropes or crampons. From what I can tell, Sahale errs more towards class 4, while Hidden Lakes is class 2 at best. Any suggestions? I am open to other potential areas as well. Thanks.
