Dallas kloke Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Trip: Sauk Mtn. - SW Flank Date: 2/20/2010 Trip Report: Another Sauk Mtn. climb on a beautiful day. For access, steep snow, and fantastic views, it's hard to beat Sauk. Mark D. , Mark N. and I attempted a new route on the West Face. From just below the summer parking area at 4300 feet, we climbed the large snow slope below the face to the base of a rock wall. Almost two pitches up, a short step with little snow forced a retreat. After two raps, we traversed over to the SW Flank and climbed to the summit from there. There's no ice, but snow varies from fairly hard to very soft. Gear Notes: For the new route (two tools, a few cams and pitons, one picket) Approach Notes: Drive Sauk Mtn.Road for 6.3 miles, then hike road for about 1.0 mile.
