Sahale via Quien Sabe glacier status

[Adam__S]

Has anyone been up this route recently? Are the crevasses/moat passable?

 

lastly, are there decent bivy sites at or near the top of the glacier, or does one have to camp in the basin? I'm thinking of trying to camp high, and loop back via the arm.

 

thanks very much,

adam

You could definitely camp atop the Glacier, at or near the Boston/Sahale Col -- though I doubt it's exactly legal by Park Standards to do so -- or more specifically, I'm not sure which permit you need to do so (BB, Sahale, X-C Zone, etc), if you care...

Thanks.

 

to answer my previous questions-- ranger at marblemount says the glacier is passable, the bivy sites at the col are legal, and they're part of boston basin xc zone ("since if you don't make it that's where you'll end up camping").
