  1. Summitted via the Ingraham direct route this past Sun. There were 60mph winds all sat nite until Sun 4am when it suddenly became quiet. By 7 am Sun, many climbers (about 20 that day from Muir) were on their way up. The ID route had bootmarks and wands all the way to the top. However, with the recent warm weather, the route was treacherous in certain sections: Narrow suspect snow bridges (a mistep here and there outside the boot tr ackscould punch thorough the bridges; also had to jump 3 crevasses (2-3 ft). I think this route is going to disappear early this year. With the snow Rainier is getting this week, the bridges may turn more treacherous by covering holes with a shallow layer and obliterating the boot tracks.
