Deuce Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Trip: Ingalls Peak - East Ridge Date: 9/5/2015 Trip Report: A couple of us were trying to do a climb of Ingalls East Ridge this past weekend. We setup camp Saturday morning and watched as the peak was covered in clouds and high winds. The weather looked far worse than the forecast had predicted. Deciding to push the climb to Sunday in hopes the weather would be better, we found a rock outcropping and had some fun setting up some new routes. We put up 3 new trad routes (5.6-5.9) that were very fun. All went well. The next morning when we woke up, we discovered about 4" of new snow had fallen during the night. We ate breakfast and went back to the cars, the weather had bested us - and we would not be climbing Ingalls this weekend. Unfortunately, while driving back to the city, we came to the realization that we had lost a bunch of gear (6ish+ cams, set of nuts, slings, bunch of carabiners, etc) at the rock we were playing on. We realized we had left the rack at the base of this rock. Some of the gear has both green and pink tape and the other gear has red tape on it. The GPS coordinate of the gear is here: 47.466761, -120.941196 Here is a map with the location marked: CalTopo Map The rock outcropping is about 50 yards NW of the main trail heading to the lake, about 100 yards before a turn off to go back down towards the camp sites. I have attached a photo of the face of the rock we were climbing: If you come across our rack, and can get it back to us - I have a 6 pack of beer of your choice with your name on it! Quote
telemarker Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 A six pack?! Six beers?! A couple cases of craft beer should be your starting point. Quote
Rad Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Sounds like a race to pirate booty complete with a treasure map and clues. Arrr! Quote
yikes Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 How is this a TR of Ingalls Peak ER? Shouldn't this be in Lost and Found? Quote

Deuce Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 How is this a TR of Ingalls Peak ER? Shouldn't this be in Lost and Found? I debated on where to put it. Guess it should have gone in both. I wanted people to know about the new snow that area got. Here is the view of the South side of Stewart from Sunday Morning: Quote

JasonG Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Wow, climbers are WAY more honest than I give them credit for. Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Nah, good beer is far better than cams, I have lots of those by now. Unless the cams are newer and shinier than mine, then I guess I just found some old beat up cams in that spot you left yours . . . Also PBR doesn't count. Quote
