Ptarmigan Traverse, North Cascades

We began the next day by climbing Sahale Mountain to get the expansive views of the North Cascades it provides. From there we looked south to the terrain Scott and I would be traversing over the next 8 days. We continued on north over Sahale with the intent of climbing Boston Peak (pictured), whose main claim to fame was its first ascent was part of the pioneering 1938 traverse. We found the rock on Boston Peak to be too rotten and decided to turn back and prepare for another climb the next day.
