Ingalls Peak/South Ridge

Fri, Aug 7, 2015

Pretty standard trip for August. Few people until the hike out (then plenty!) Encountered a party of two wrapping up the climb as we were approaching the base. They had camped near the lake. We encountered another party of two on the summit who had climbed the E ridge. They had to wait for us (and were courteous in doing so) to clear the route before descending. While we were on the summit they decided to climb the route, which they did quickly but we had to wait for them to top out and rappel down. It turned into a long 13 hour day but everyone got back to the cars in good spirits.
