Just a small addition about where to go in the gulley to find the start of the climb. The instructions on this page say to go up to the "cleft" between Ingalls North and Ingalls South, which is correct. I might call it a col more than a cleft, but in any case, you go straight up the gulley until you're within, ~20 vertical feet from the ridge then turn to your right to start the climb.
My party got a little turned around because the cleft between Ingalls North and Ingalls East is, well, more cleft-like. Don't go that way; follow the instructions as written and don't overthink it.
