Rainier: which route is easiest?

Gib Ledge is a great option from Muir in the right conditions. More direct, less traffic. I recommend descending Ingrahm/DC though due to rockfall hazard on the ledge as things warm up. Main concern is the ledge is 3ft wide in places, which is exciting, but not as bad as ait sounds. Also a steep section from the end of the ledge to the top of the Rock of Gibralter. I brought a few pickets when i went with the intention of placing running protection on the ledge and steep chute, but ended up not placing anything - wasn't as bad as i thought it might be.
