Sahale Peak; September 27, 2003
On Saturday an expedition made up of Jason, Erik, John T and John M climbed Sahale Peak. We approached the climb through Boston Basin, reached the summit via the Quien Sabe Glacier and descended via the Sahale Glacier, Sahale Arm and Cascade Pass. It was a beautiful fall day in one of the most scenic parts of the Northwest. It was also a very long day and all of us were left with sore feet.
A view of the impressive North face of Johannesberg Mountain, located on the opposite side of the valley. We’re climbing it next.
The crux crevasse crossing; Erik, what happened to Jason and John?
Oh. I guess there really is a way to get across.
The summit shots….Erik….
….Jason (on the summit, mind you)….
…John T…
…and last but not least, climb leader of the year John Methot! As usual, highly stoned on the summit.

Team Mango on top, as it should be.

i hope you guys always take in stride the dangers you face on these expeditions. they can be fun, exillerating(?); yet, if i were younger and out there, i'd be in the lead.
take care
