Monday
Mt. Shavano(14,229') via the Angel of Shavano
"Esprit Point" (13,630')
9.0 miles
4,650' gain
~6 hour RT
Fun, "easy" day with Jake.
Last time we were up Shavano was a little...hairier. Some pictures from the day.

The Angel runs out at about 12,100'. The right arm melts first, but the left is good until 13,300' |
|
Is it the socks or the shorts that make the man? |
|
Dirty, dirty snow |
|
Found this in my mitten. Nice surprise. |
|
I had a couple extra minutes upon topping out on the Angel to reach 13,620' Esprit Point |
|
Same peak, more fun. |
|
Jake's sailboat |
|
The bottom 200' or so was dirty |

Nothing better than crampons on running shoes (Inov-8s?). Proper style.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, right? Those old Inov-8s are actually boots...so not only are they hack for mountain running, they're terrible for 'pons due to the fact that they are slip lasted.
