Sometimes last minute decisions work out great. Originally planned to do Adams with one other rider and some climbing friends. Friday afternoon I found out about the wildfire on Satus Pass and 97 closure. Not wanting to deal with I5 I pulled the plug and suggested Sahale. The coverage looked good two week ago when I was out there.
I'll write up a full trip report on my blog later, but cliff notes:
Made the summit. Should have brought a full rope not 30m.
Upper slopes and lower slopes rode great.
My light shell matches my gore pants and makes me look like papa smurf.
Sahale from the arm:
Stephanie showing how to summit the hard way
Boston
Summit view
Last of the turns above doubtful lake

Every one of those pictures belongs in a calendar.
Looks awesome - wish I could have made it out there with you! Bro!
BTW, is that a Sterling Fusion Nano AT rope coil?

Thanks Mike!
BP next season we have to get out here! That's a edelweiss twin 30m 8mm. We had another team on the summit top rope us off a rap anchor, faster and safer then setting our own pro.
