Sahale Mountain, Sahale Arm, Cascade Pass

Activity Notes

A 360° view from the summit. This is a car to car climb with some glacier travel and a some rock.  Due to the climb schedule, it's best drive up the day before and drive home the day after.  Estimated away from home time is noon, Sunday August 20 until noon, Tuesday August 22.

We will have a pre-climb meeting at ~7:00 pm Sunday August 20.  We will get up around 3-4 am then next day and start out around 4-5am.  We will hike to Cascade Pass, turn left and head up to Sahale Arm.  Upon reaching Sahale Glacier, we will rope up (crampons if needed) and continue up to the summit pinnacle where I will set a short hand line to the summit (5.2-5.4 rock depending on route congestion).

On descent, we will rappel off the summit pinnacle and make our way down the same way we went up.  This will be ~16 hours from car to car.  It's strongly suggested to camp another night at the trail head.
