Basic Rock Climb - Ingalls Peak/Southwest Face

Basic Rock Climb for Tacoma students of the South face of Ingalls peak.

  • Basic Rock Climb, Strenuous 2, Technical 1
  • Moderate
  • Elevation Gain: 3,419 ft

We will leave form the Esmerelda trailhead on Saturday morning.  A car camp the night before (Friday) is preferable as we will leave early to try to be first on route. 

I will update the required equipment list prior to the climb.
