| Simply a classic! Didn't see a soul aside from our group. Good fun climbing and plenty of exposure. | |

| Wow. My new favorite mountain. After Cascade Pass, I didn't see anyone. The crux was the bush getting into the upper basin. The rest was an open snow slope. Supreme views from the summit. I will be back. | |

| Camped on Sahale glacier, then dropped down the rock ridge into Horseshoe basin. Went up steep snow, talus and scree. Very nice views of big glaciers and Cascade Pass peaks. | |

| There is another way! (for those of us who are not world class climbers). We hiked to Cascade Pass and up Sahale Arm and camped in bomber, knock -your -socks -off -views sites on the Sahale Glacier. Then we dropped down into Horseshoe Basin and traversed it below Ripsaw Ridge to the saddle below the summit block. | |

| Duane and I joined a Mazamas climb. We hiked to Sahale glacier camp on Friday, traversed through Horseshoe Basin to the summit and back on Saturday. The weather was worsening during the day, and the wind and rain started as we began the climb back up to camp. Sunday morning we loaded up and hiked out in the storm. Great peak with fantastic views of the North Cascades. Posted on 16 Jan 2007: With great sorrow I announce the passing of our esteemed leader on this climb. Ed Holt was a senior climbing leader with the Mazamas, and he was a friend who had recently retired from my place of work. He had a heart attack while skiing on Mt. Hood on Saturday 13 Jan 2007. He will be sorely missed by many. In our summit photo below, he is standing with the red jacket. I'm standing next to him on the far right. Ed, may you rest in peace my friend.  | |

| Sweet but short route. The traverse beneath Boston royally sucked. Excellent conditions... spent the night wrapped up in foil like a burrito and lead up the first 500' in Vasque Sundowners (these made the approach and exit pretty darned easy) with SMC crampons. We had four picket placements for the entire route and this was mainly to protect the one crevasse (to add some spice to the relatively easy trip) and to swap out leads. Last 200 feet had ice beneath two feet of soft snow. Excellent day and views. Accessing Sahale Arm from the SW slopes of Buckner had us ascending steep snow slopes with some funny tracks left by an apparently glissading mountain goat. | |

| Summited on a beautiful morning after bivying on the Sahale - Boston col. 1300 feet of good cramponing snow up to the summit and awesome views. We downclimbed our ascent route and then went back across the Boston Glacier and bagged Boston Peak. | |
