Nice combo with Darley

Darley Mountain is very close, and both peaks can be easily combined together. Photo shows the east ridge and the Darley mountain in the background with an obvious trail up to the summit.

So many high peaks

apparently easy to access that are mostly class 1 and often close together. This is not usually the case in the Sierra.

Re: So many high peaks

Engineer A and Darley are class 2 (maybe 1++), most of the others are class 2-3. Yes, the access depends where in San Juans, these ones (Darley and Engineer A) you can drive to within 1/2 mile, some more than 20 mile approach and multi pitch alpine mid 5th class climbing...
I chose to hike up to these and did it as a 17+ mile RT. Too many slow Texans on those 4WD roads - haha.

Thanks for your comment.
