[edit] Climbing Sahale Peak

There are two very popular routes up Sahale Peak:

  • Starting at Cascade Pass and continuing up the gentle Sahale arm to the Sahale Glacier, then some 5.0 climbing to the summit.
  • Starting in the slightly harder accessed Boston Basin and climbing over the Quien Sabe Glacier to some 4th class rock to the summit.
