AaronB Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Climb: Sahale Peak-Quien Sabe Date of Climb: 7/4/2004 Trip Report: Alex_Mineev, Katia_Mineev, Christine & I ..climbed Sahale Peak via Quien Sabe Glacier. Approach kind of sucked, with the road being out. We missed the turn off for the trail and hiked to cascade pass TH. Oops, turned around and found it. We had the campsites in Boston Basin to ourselves. We could see ppl up at the upper camp for Forbidden peak. We woke up nice and lazily at aroud 5am & got going by around 630. It was completely socked in. We kept going till we hit the wall under Sharkfin and then cut right. The glacier is kind of dead.. A few Gaping holes, but nothing to worry about. We took a break at the Saddle, where Alex & I cruised up to the summit for some photo's. The clouds kind of broke right when we summited, for some nice pictures.. We descended to camp, packed up and got outta there. About 15 ppl showed up at camp as we were leaving.. Whew missed that by a day. Approach Notes: Bike would be nice? Until the road is fixed.
