Ingraham Direct Switching to the Disappointment Cleaver

Warm temps have led to significant crevassing on the Ingraham Direct. The primary route maintained and traveled by guide services will now be the Disappointment Cleaver. Above the Cleaver (12,500') the route remains unchanged. 

Please don't forget to pick up your climbing permit in person at one of the Wilderness Information Centers (WIC)! The Paradise WIC and White River WIC are open daily 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. A list of operating hours and contact information for the Park can be found here. And don't forget to pay your Annual Climbing Cost Recovery Fee. It can be paid ahead of time and is needed in order to get a climbing permit. Hope to see you out there!
