Ingalls Peak Approach

[TrogdortheBurninator]

How is the approach for Ingall's Peak this time of year? Are snowshoes/ice axe/crampons necessary? Was thinkning of heading out there if it is accessible. Thanks in advance.

Totally free of snow. All you need is sneakers.

Take skiis. It will be a long slog. Check the road info in the Mt Stuart post in the Alpine lakes forum.

I THOUGHT that there was still a good bit of melting to happen before Teannaway River Road opened up all the way inot the trailhead? Check it out by calling the Ranger station. Please post any beta you get.

 

Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck.

Yeah, I hear there are some serious glaciers and really steep slopes on the approach to Ingalls......

The guy asked for information and got flamed by assholes.

Ice ax and crampons are not needed for Ingalls. There are some snowfields that could be frozen hard depending on the weather and time of day, but I have never used them on the approach. If you are tired of being flamed here, feel free to send me a private message. You just click on my avatar (Bug) and it presents you with my profile and a "send PM" link.

Ingalls is a great peak. You will love it.

Cheers.

Hey Bug:

 

Not all of us flamed him??? So if you got recent beta on the approach, share...come on brother, show some love.

Probably none of you are assholes. It just seems that way sometimes (except for me ). Check out MattP's info in the Climbers Forum.
