Engineer Mountain

March 8th, 2009

Great weekend in the San Juans.   About 6 inches of snow on Saturday gave way to perfect weather on Sunday.  Did an overnight on Engineer Mtn. with Ian from CA, and Nick from NYC.  The conditions on the NE Ridge of Engineer are just about perfect right now.  Generally stable snow and great cramponing led us to the summit and great views of the Weminuche Wilderness, the La Platas, and the Sleeping Lady.  Great job Ian and Nick!  Looks as though winter will be hanging on for a little while longer with generally colder temps predicted for the next week or so.
