Alpine Scramble - Ingalls Peak/South Peak

Last minute, end of the season scramble of Not Hinkhouse. Probably too late for larches but hoping for views of Ingalls and Stuart.

  • Technical 3, Strenuous 3
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 8.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 3,000 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 6,878 ft

Meet at Greenlake p&r or Tibet’s valley park at 6/6:30. Other options (including meeting at the trailhead) will be discussed via email. Turn around time will be set so we should be back in seattle before 7. 

This is a scramble of Not Hinkhouse. I am planning to follow a recent recommendation to hike to Ingalls pass, scramble the ridge and then descend the col before longs pass, so not following the entire ridge line. I’m open to discussing the options with the group so be familiar with the details from either pass. Pace will be on the conversational side of moderate with plenty of breaks.

There should be a break in the weather on Tuesday but there may be snow left from this weekend. We will bring traction. If conditions are dicey, this may just be a hike to the pass — which will be beautiful with or without attaining our target. 

Open to all branches.
