Sahale Peak
The North Cascades are a climber’s playground. They offer big mountain terrain in an unbelievable setting. Their jagged ridges and rocky summits are surrounded by snowfields and glaciers, which will put all of your previous mountaineering skills to the test. On this trip we will attempt Sahale Peak via the unbelievably beautiful Sahale Arm. Our route will take us along arguably the most scenic approach in the North Cascades! Our summit attempt will include glacier travel as well as 3rd and 4th class scrambling. This is a true Cascades gem that you won't want to miss.

Day 1: Arrival into Seattle, WA. Drive into North Cascades National Park (3hr drive) and meet your guides at the designated campground by 5PM. Overnight at the campground.
CLIMBING ITINERARY BEGINS
Day 2: We will wake early and drive to the Trailhead. Our approach to high camp (the highest designated camp-site in the park) includes a steep ascent through old growth forest before popping out of tree-line to world class views. We'll hike steeply again through wildflowers to Doubtful Lake lookout and then onto Sahale Arm. The approach alone "has changed lives." After 6 miles, we reach Sahale High Camp at the base of Sahale Glacier. Overnight in tents.
Day 3: Summit day begins early. We'll ascend steep snow and traverse across the dwindling Sahale Glacier and then begin the final climb of the 3rd-4th class summit pyramid. This tiny summit may boast the best view of North Cascades National Park, period. We'll descend to our tents, pack up and hike back to the cars. Overnight in tents at the campground.
CLIMBING ITINERARY ENDS
Day 4: We will begin the drive back to Seattle and say our goodbyes. Afternoon flights can be booked, but we encourage you to take an extra day and to visit Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the amazing city of Seattle.
