North America, United States, Washington—Cascades, Ingalls Peak, East Ridge of the East Peak

Publication Year: 1961.

Ingalls Peak, East Ridge of the East Peak. This route, first climbed on October 11 by Don Anderson, Barry Prather, Gene Prater and me, ascends the prominent “dike chimney” in the south face of the ridge. This chimney offered grade IV climbing, with several short nearly overhanging pitches, while the remainder of the ridge provided scrambling on rather loose serpentine rock.
