7/5/2023 Route: Engineer Pass Posted On: 7/7/2023, By: JasonKline Info: We did the Engineer Mountain->Darley Mountain->13132->Cow Benchmark->Wildhorse Peak->Blackwall Mountain loop from Engineer Pass as described in https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=17855 although we took a slightly different route back to Engineer Pass from Blackwall Mountain. There was still patchy snow throughout the route that we occasionally traversed. Most of the snow was flat and inconsequential, and much of it could have been avoided. There was an unavoidable patch on the way up 13132 that had some slope to it, but it was relatively wide and had a flat path on top so you were never close to the edge. One of us did not use microspikes, and the two of us who did use microspikes didn't find them terribly useful on most of the snow due to its softness. None of us took ice axes, but axes might have been nice on the patch below 13132. |
