| Climbed all night due to bad snow. Great stars and was fun to meet all the clients (RMI) slogging up while we were on descent. | |

| zoomloco | Slog in early season Date Climbed: May 15, 2009 | |
| First day of the season so we had to break a lot of trail in a heavy snow year. We decided to overnight at Muir but because of the snow conditions and traffic getting to Paradise we ended up only being able to sleep for 1 hour there. Should have just left packs and went c2c, 1 hour's sleep is not worth the heavy weight! Tons of slogging, not an interesting route. | |

| Stickit | Goat Track Date Climbed: May 10, 2006 | |
| Those RMI dudes can sure lay down a trail. Must've been 8 guided parties over a couple of days. Made it pretty easy for us 3. Was warm though so we climbed through the night, summit at 0100, nice night view of Seattle. | |

| skotty | Great climb Date Climbed: May 25, 2009 | |
| Summited via the Ingrham Direct on an amazingly sunny day. A 4-person rope team broke through a bench into a cravase only 20 minutes after my team crossed it. I punced through in another up to my knees. The day before I summited a guide fell into a steam vent on the summit and got airlifed out. | |

| pingzingr | First Rainier Summit Date Climbed: May 17, 2009 | |
| Summitted with a great crew doing a five-day RMI program. Good snow conditions and great clear weather made this experience wonderful. Could see all the way past Mt Hood to Mt Jefferson in Oregon. Great views from the top. 5.5 hours up to the top. | |

| Seth Maciejowski | First Rainier Summit | |
| Some big crevasses with ladders across them courtesy of the guide services and some icefall potential following the direct line up through the ingraham. The DC was shedding a lot of rock though so it's a hard choice - ice fall or rockfall. | |

| lavaka | Single Day push Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2005 | |
| Left Paradise around 1 AM in the rain, at Camp Muir around 5 AM, and topped out at rim around 10:30 AM in a white out. With my friend Boris. Coming back down the Muir Snowfield was every-bit as tricky as they warned -- we had a white-out, and were thankful for the pre-placed wands. Thanks RMI (or whoever placed those wands)! | |

| Cascade Scrambler | Success despite it all Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2007 | |
| Even though one of my partners made this trip twice as difficult as it should've been, this was a great route. Two of the three of us had a great time, and I'll certainly be back. | |

| Redwic | First Summit Attempt A Success! Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2007 | |
| Beautiful weather and lots of snow made "Ingraham Glacier Direct" the preferred summit route. There were many crevasses that we had to cross along this route; if we had waited another week or two, this route might not have been an option due to the hot sun opening up the crevasses. Reaching the summit made the whole experience, as tiresome as it was, worthwhile. I will never look at that mountain the same way again! WOOHOO! | |

| lukic | Roofed crevasses can be scary! Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2004 | |
| After turning back above the cleaver due to a late start and extremely warm weather, my partner and I were coming back down the ID when I punched through the roof of a crevasse I didn't see. I fell about 30 meters while roped onto an ice block wedged between crevasse walls. Scary but it was a very good learning experience. | |

| osatrik | My First Rainier Summit | |
| Jim Hinkhouse, Dick Wright, and I summited via Ingraham Direct about a month before the first OSAT climb in June 1991. It was the first of 3 Rainier summit climbs Jim did that month, and two for Dick and I. One of the pictures from that climb appears in the the NorthWest Mountaineering Journal article about Hinkhouse Peak. http://www.mountaineers.org/nwmj/05/051_Hinkhouse.html I led a successful OSAT climb up the same route in 2001 - 9 of 12 of us summited, one rope team turned around when 2 climbers had headlamp problems. | |
