Engelmann Peak
Two weekends ago I climbed Engelmann Peak (13,362′) in Clear Creek County. The weather was perfect, making for a supremely pleasant winter climb! I climbed with a few other Colorado Mountain Club members, including Gyorgy, the crazy Hungarian, who taught me a lot of my mountainteering skills 15 years ago.
From the peak, looking east, you actually look down on Berthoud Pass. This is a view I’d never seen before and thought was pretty interesting. Notice the avalanche chutes on the left.
