Travel plan / Pace
Plan to go all day at a moderate, but sustainable pace. On the approach we'll travel together and plan to stop for a quick snack and water break about every hour. This becomes more fluid on the climb and descent.
Climbing
The South Ridge of Ingalls Peak has magnificent climbing. There's a fun crack, some fun face moves, and even a hanging(ish) belay! All basic students are encouraged to consider the climb, but please be aware that there is significant exposure.
