Muir -> Top of DC

  • Camp Muir to Ingraham Flats Camp

    • Short rope to navigate switchbacks 

    • ~1000’ gain/~1.5 hours (we should be able to get here in an hour, but giving us a little buffer as we get comfortable with the climb)

  • Ingraham Flats Camp to Icebox/Bowling Alley

    • Ok for about 800’ and then enter danger zone at about ~12,000’

    • Don’t stop in either Icebox or Bowling Alley sections and keep total exposure time to ~10 minutes

    • ~800’ gain/~1 hour

  • Icebox/Bowling Alley to the Top of DC

    • Short rope to avoid knocking shit down

    • Route finding gets harder but guides leave markers

    • Little crevasse risk

    • Top of DC is at about 12,300’ and this is a good place to do a check in before things get more technical 

    • ~300’ gain/~30 min
