| Fralli | took right at the Crux  Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2003 | |
| By pure chance, I started a solo hike on the pass trail not even knowing about Engineer Mountain. When I arrived at the bottom, I literally felt drawn to this mountain. The weather was fine with just a few clouds. There was some wet snow sticking to the shaded areas. Took left at the Crux as advised by Connor, a young man who was climbing fast off-trail left of the ridge. Felt quite dizzy and totally euphoric at the summit. On the way down I climbed down (about 10 feet) the northern section of the Crux. The 3-foot wide ledge on which then I stood was barely a reassurance from the vertiginous cliff that lay beneath my feet. | ||

| As a former army engineer I'd been wanting to climb this peak. With good weather was able to also make it up Jura Knob. | ||

| Liba Kopeckova | Lovely scramble | |
| Really nice summit with super nice scramble, great views, with my brother, son, and Duchess (although not a dog friendly mountain higher up). Rained on us on the way down. | |

| After spending the previous day attempting to summit Sneffels in an early morning deluge, it was nice to be able to attain this summit. A crux of crumbly holds wasn't quite what I expected, but was grateful to savor one of the best views in the San Juans. | |

| WalksWithBlackflies | A fun mountain | |
| When I saw this mountain, I literally pulled off the road and climbed it. I didn't think there was a trail, but soon stumbled across it. I then thought there certainly couldn't be a good route to the top, but was surprised when I saw several people on the ridge above. I ventured a bit onto the face to get away from the conga line and also to spice it up. It was a LOT of fun, and great scenery too. | |

| We had some time to spare so we did this real quick on the way to Ouray. Gorgeous hike with awesome views all over. I was pleasently surprised with the class 3 sections on the route. We ended up taking the class 4 chimney because we didn't get out of the corridor soon enough. Awesome views! We had the summit to ourselves! | |

| Holy MOSES, is there anthing NOT to like about this mountain? As soon as we left our vehicle we were surrounded by 6-ft tall wildflowers. The meadow below the peak was exploding in color. The ridge was indeed quite loose in the San Juan tradition, but it was an exhilarating ride. We had a high pressure system over us and no threat of afternoon storms - barely a cloud in the sky. Heaven on earth. | |

| iditarod81 | Great fun! Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2009 | |
| Summited after visiting friends in Durango. Never been to the San Juans before--simply grand! Talk about colorful Colorado. It started to hail around 10 am, but we were only a few hundred yards from the trailhead. | |

| Sometime in 1992, plus or minus a year. Nice hike, a little scary at the time as it was one of my very first peaks and I really felt the exposure. | |

| First trip into the San Juans, I climbed this with SW Adventure Guides to get introduced to the area. It was a little more burley than I was expecting, but GREAT FUN! | |
