dan_t Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Has anyone done the Ingraham in the last couple of days? I'm hoping to head up Sunday or Monday... Quote
skyhigh Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 We did the ID on Thursday. Nothing difficult. Well, other than the normal 14k mountain stuff on an hour sleep. Followed two RMI groups. We left Muir at 2:30 and wished we had left earlier as the trip down was getting a little soft. We had one member stick a leg through once. RMI had one ladder with boards across a 4 footer. On the way down I speculated that we might be the last ones down ID this year. Things were getting soft fast. Anybody go yesterday, Friday? Mike Quote
Dulton Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Did the ID on Friday. The best thing to do is to leave as early as possible, we left at 12:30am and it was beginning to get pretty sloppy on the way down even that early. The route will probably only be in for another week or so. Very direct right now, not too many sketchy crevasse crossings (one RMI ladder to cross @ 12,500ft, not bad tho). Hope that helps, have a great trip and be safe! Quote
skeletor Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Hey, Dulton! We must have passed you on Friday. We went ID on Saturday morning. Crevasses are melting out fast. There were a couple that you've got to take a bit of a leap across. I would agree they'll start leading up DC within a week. We had a team of 6 Rainier virgins and 4 summited. But man was it hot, when we got back to Muir! Quote
Pandora Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Yesterday morning RMI was putting in the DC when we came down, and there was talk of them pulling the ladders from the ID in the next couple of days. Quote
cldbase Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) ID this past weekend. Don't take the same route as RMI up. It will just make you feel like a jackass. Edited June 30, 2005 by cldbase Quote
Kraken Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 shit i'd pull a gainer flip over those itsy bitsy thimble sized holes, yo! Quote
