Up Sahale via the Quien Sabe Glacier route. Waffled a bit due to the forecast but glad I made it out (although I regrettably stubbed my toe on a rock and broke it).

In the clouds for most of the morning

Cool looking rocks, but definitely chossy

Seeing the summit of Sahale

Johannesburg peeking over the clouds

Summit of chossy Boston Peak

Eldorado and Forbidden peeking out too

Eldo and a bit of Baker to its left

---

The pointy Forbidden Peak

Boston Glacier under Forbidden

The ridge to Mount Buckner and the Boston Glacier continued

---

A sad Davenport Glacier

---

Boston Peak was by far the chossiest peak I’ve ever been on and it’s not even close

Looking south into the Glacier Peak Wilderness

Dome Peak

Another look at the Ripsaw Ridge to Buckner with Mount Logan behind

Notes

• This was probably ~12 miles and ~5700 feet of vertical gain in a bit over 9 ½ hours.
• We did attempt to summit Boston, but the group wasn’t feeling it due to how absolutely chossy it was. It wasn’t too bad on the main trafficked path, but it felt like the mountain was falling apart if you veered even slightly, and it’s not a great feeling to think that a foothold is going to blow. Then scrambling up Boston is another question, but I hear it’s good and I’d still like to give it a go with anyone who’s up for it.
