Meet at the Cascade Pass TH at 4:00 a.m. then shuttle to the Boston Basin TH. Recommend sleeping in cars the night before at the Cascade Pass TH.
This will be a loop trip ascending via Boston Basin and the Quien Sabe glacier, then descending via the Sahale Glacier and Cascade Pass.
You must be prepared and fit for a long day with a lot of elevation gain and loss. We won't go crazy fast, but we will hike and climb efficiently. When you ask the leader for permission, please outline your fitness level and the relevant trips you've done this season.
