La Plata Peak Northwest Ridge 2016-02-20

I successfully summited La Plata Peak's Northwest Ridge (winter variation) again this year. This is a big accomplishment for me.

Apologies on the number of pictures and the poor quality of most of them, but there are just a variety of reasons why it's hard for me to get decent shots even though the iPhone camera is pretty good.

The summit is at 14,336' and the total elevation gained today including elevation lost and regained is 4,950' over 9.1mi round trip. It took 10h12m (~7h up, ~3h down) which is ~2 hours faster than the last time I did this, but I also had to put a trench in that time.

I may not add as many descriptions to these photos as I normally do, but I might decide to come back and fill those out.
