Great trip in the alpine. We had a gorgeous campsite with Mt Stuart looming above us. Beautiful evening with alpenglow and pika song. Saw a pair of goats at the lake. This is a busy area, and can be extremely crowded during the larch peak time.
Started early for our ascent of Ingalls Peak and had it to ourselves for awhile. Congestion on the way down because you have to rappel down the upward route.Interesting to negotiate that with the other climbing teams, but everyone was nice and accommodating and it was a beautiful day!
A big storm came in just as we returned to the TH, phew!
