Trip: Ingalls Peak - East Ridge

 

Date: 7/3/2009

 

Trip Report:

Did east ridge with Mike Bell. There's plenty of beta out there, so I'll just add that the approach is mostly snow free, except for the basin under Ingalls. The climb is extremely soft for the grade. And, contrary to reports from summitpost, you can rap the south ridge with a 50m rope.

 

Gear Notes:

tennis shoes.

 

Bring a *small* rack and long slings. We brought too much. I don't think we used anything over 2''. We did use a lot of stoppers.

How did you protect the crux move? We needed a #4 Camalot for that.

 

Other than the crux, I agree, the whole route is more like exposed scrambling.

Actually, we had a bomber hex (prob about 2'') in a bit below it, as well, to secure the belay. We didn't bring a number 4. We had a 3 but I don't think we used it anywhere, and if we did it was just to stick it somewhere.

fwiw, following on that route is pretty sketchy affair, the down climbs have the disadvantage of lots of slack and lots of ledges.don't like that route much. btw, does anyone know if there is a reasonable walk-off/scramble on ingalls? i've yet to find one, but thought maybe on the northwest side?
