Congrats on your climb!

I never posted a report here on my climb up the Ingraham Direct route in May. Our group summited a few days before the Ingraham avalanche buried 11 climbers - sadly one died. It has been a strange experience for me.

This is an incredible mountain and I will be back next season to try Kautz.
