The ridge above Cascade Pass, ending on the moraine of the Sahale Glacier.

Tips
The Sahale Glacier Camp at the top is often called the finest backcountry campsite in the country - a handful of rock-walled sites on a moraine at 7,600 feet. Permit required and hard to get. Mountain goats throughout.
