One day climb - choosing the best weather window day (Saturday or Sunday).

General plan is to camp at the Johannesburg Campground/bivy by our cars the night before the climb.  Our climb will end here, so we will leave 1-2 vehicles at this location in the AM.  

We will meet at 3 AM at the Old Diamond Mine Road Trailhead which is 1.5 miles back down Cascade River Road towards Marblemount.  

We will be ascending the Quien Sabe Glacier/Boston Basin trail and descending the Sahale Arm trail.
