Can't go wrong with the Northern Sangres Date Climbed: Dec 26, 2010
Talked two guys off of 14ers.com into joining me on Eagle the day after Christmas, and we had an excellent day. The snow wasn't too deep making trail breaking not very difficult. The views from the top were amazing.
This is a nice, avy safe peak to do in the winter or spring. We started at the end of the plowing on CR-198 at the church camp. We left the road at 9800' where we were closest to the nose of the n.e. ridge. Very gentle ridge with a nice little finish.
hiked the northeast ridge with jamie. we stopped at sarah's snowdrift and to hoof it to rainbow lake from there. we cruised the gentle ridge and had an enjoyable summit celebration!
NE Ridge from Rainbow Lake Date Climbed: Oct 28, 2006
Hiked from partway up FR #198 leading to Rainbow Lake. Snow prohibited me from driving all the way. Eagle Peak's NE ridge poses no difficulties. Nice fall solo hike.
Climbed with Kiefer on a long route that included Cottonwood, PT 13123B, Thirsty and Lakes. Glad we took the trip out to get this peak while we were "in the area".
Probably did this the hard way but summited Eagle Peak with ascents of Cottonwood Peak, UN-13,123, Thirsty Peak and Lakes Peak. Basically a long 18-mile day with 8,100-v-ft. Treked with Chicagotransplant on this one. A real good day!
