Sahale Peak — Friday, Jun. 23, 2023

Bucket list climb up Sahale Peak yesterday! Crevasses were easy to navigate on the Quien Sabe Glacier and nothing was opening up yet on the Sahale Glacier. Some avy debri on Quien Sabe, so stay frosty. Be careful of the cornice along the ridge walk to the summit block and the final 10ft was a little bit of a spicy scramble with some mixed terrain of snow and rock. Trail runners were clutch (probably spent 14 of the 16 miles in them) but we did run into a park ranger on Sahale Arm that let us know the road is likely to open next weekend! Water sources were abundant and it looked like new anchors were setup for the rappel off the summit. Flowers are just past their prime and bugs were a little annoying below tree line. Enjoy!
