Great late season climb of Sahale via the Arm/Sahale Glacier. Snow bridge over the bergschrund is going fast and I was little nervous going over it solo/unroped, but decided it seemed secure enough for now. Alternate is already bootpathed over the to the rocks below the summit pyramid off to the right. The glacier snow and ice is easy to quickly navigate with crampons, and I made it in 15 minutes or so, moving as fast as I could. There were people on the glacier without crampons or with just microspikes and with poles/no ice axes. I guess if you're really proficient and comfortable this is fine, but they seemed anything but. I was actually asked to take an ice axe and helmet up to another person in the party, which I reluctantly did. After hitting the summit and coming back down, they were just getting off of the glacier.

The summit scramble was challenging (for me) - I think it is fair to say lots of class 3 and definitely 2 class-4 moves if you stay to the right of the summit block and corkscrew around to the top (the "standard" route). Definitely some other ways to attempt it - I actually started up the rappel route because it looked doable, but made a retreat as I was just to nervous to try and finish it off via that route. Down-climbing the class-4 was a bit nerve-wracking, but luckily no wind, and the rock up there is pretty solid. Lots of people camp at the foot of the glacier and do this in 2 days, which I'm sure is a great experience enjoying the sunset/stars/sunrise, but at least this time of the year, definitely doable in a day. 8 hours car to car.
