Basic Rock Climb - Ingalls Peak/South Ridge

Esmeralda Basin Trailhead at 6:15 a.m.

Boots on the trails at 6:27 a.m.

OK here is the twist-
I am trying to save my legs for more climbs; to accomplish that, I will need to lighten my pack weight.   This means that if you want to be added to this climb, you need to agree to carry part of my climbing rack.  For a free burger after the climb, you could take my whole rack (about 7.5 lbs.).
This whole thing might sound odd, but it is what it is.  Please read on....

This climb is totally weather dependent!

We will do the scramble variation instead of the first pitch (and probably scramble the second),  you need to be comfortable with some unroped exposed T5 scrambling.  We will also be doing the 5.6 variation (not the regular Basic route).

Speed and efficiency is Safety in the mountains. Be ready to move accordingly.
