A Climbing Guide to the Organ Mountains: The Original Ingraham's Guide

By R.L. Ingraham and Mike Hoskins

This is a paperback re-print of the Original Ingraham's A Climbing Guide to the Organ Mountains last published in hardback in 1985. This guide, written by Dick Ingraham in the 1960's, includes comprehensive narrative descriptions outlining the approach hikes and subsequent climbing routes to allow experienced mountaineers and rock climbers to summit all of the peaks in the Organ Mountains. From the author, "In 1955 a group of local mountaineering enthusiasts banded together into a climbing club, which was briefly called the "Tularosa Climbing Club" before it took its present name of "The Southwestern Mountaineers". From then on technical climbing went on apace, until today there are at least several routes up every peak. Nevertheless, compared to the intensive going-over that superior rock climbing areas get in the East or in California or in well-advertised parts of the West like the Tetons, the Organs are almost virgin territory. There are a great number of routes left up there! So much for history. Many routes have been added in the Organs since the time of my guide and these added notes, perhaps as many as are written up here. Most of these are not even written down anywhere, but survive only in the heads of myself and a few local climbers. A climber who wants the most up-to-date information had best consult one of us."
