Ingraham Direct (also referred to as Ingraham Glacier-Upper Ingraham Direct) is an early to mid season route, usually climbed from above Ingraham Flats through its center to the top of Disappointment Cleaver.

Activity Notes

I am proposing Ingraham Direct for now, all dependent on the snowpack and route assessment at the end of May. Might change it to either Disappointment Cleaver or Emmons-Wintrop Glacier!

Creavasse rescue training is mandatory!!!
