Ingraham Direct--Any current info?

[snowball]

Hi you all, from sunny Los Angeles...

 

I am planning a trip up there for an ascent via the Ingraham Direct in about 2 weeks. Any first hand info on the route above ingraham flats? (I climbed Rainier via the Kautz and Cleaver in the past, so i am already familiar with the overall expectations.)

 

Pictures would be awesome... I already checked out the Mt Rainier Climbing and Route Conditions Report. That was helpful.

 

Thanks

When I did the Gibraltar Ledges about 3 weeks ago, I spoke with another group who was up there. They were doing the ID and said it was heavily crevassed and they had to hug the right hand side most of the way up. Rainier has received quite a large helping of snow and storms lately, so the conditions could have improved.

 

PM Mike and ask him, I'm sure he's got up to the minute information.

I read you TR. Congrats! Thats good info... So people had to hug the Cleaver. Hope Mr Gauthier has some more info. My girlfriend and i are planning to camp up at Ingrahams Flat and then wait for a weather window...
