Trip: Ingalls, North Peak - East Ridge

 

Date: 6/5/2013

 

Trip Report:

 

We climbed the East Ridge of Ingalls yesterday... and descended today. We had a late start, hot temps low, cold wind above, managed a summit bivy, and earned few style points. The Some pics below should suffice for beta on the current snow pack. Enjoy:

 

MS hydrates on the warm mid-morning approach.

 

Lots of snow on and around all three peaks:

Approach Notes:

Hot, start early.

A planned bivy? Sounds like a nice place to slumber as long as the wind is not too bad.

 

WE trudged up in the shitty soft snow to a minor peak between Ingalls and Longs Pass the previous weekend. The side hilling was horrendous and the wind and snow was strong on the ridge! I was surprised at how low the snow line was too. About 4500 feet I think?

 

 

 

Good on ya's
