Completely socked in from the start of Sahale arm to the glacier with very cold winds and a few ice pellet showers. Below Sahale the views were amazing, especially of Doubtful Lake. Saw lots of pika, some ptarmigans, and a bear. The berries are ripe and some of the best I've had this season!
Road up was fine, washboard conditions were manageable, no specially clearance needed.
