| ericd | renewed Sawatch interest!  Date Climbed: May 28, 2013 | |
| This double summit 2 day climb has renewed my interest in the Sawatch range! Blank cabin meadows are intriguing at the start of trail then a decent trek up thru trees and across streams. The existing camping flats are ideal especially the last high spot at 11,200 offering open air views outside your tent. May is a good month to see the profound Grinch alongside the Angel. After winding thru these characters, the 14er path becomes kinda unclear and turns into a class 2 scramble up to the summit. Strong wind drafts keep you alert on the ridge climb to Tabeguache. Enjoy! | |

| Climbed with EricD - bagged Tabeguache. We were able to skirt around Shavano on the way back to save some time, not sure if any energy was saved as that's a lot of scrambling up there! Some snow drifts were difficult to avoid (and some were even preferred to the rocks). Traction not needed. Great weather and we saw a big-horn sheep and some marmots. | |

| Maybe I would have liked this one more if I hadn't been so tired from two difficult days ahead of this one. Typical Sawatch slog! Nothing techincally challenging - but plenty physically challenging. | |

| Very nice day, with Tabeguache and storm right when we hit the tree line on the way down. | ||

| Longer trip than expected. Camped about two miles up from the trailhead for fun, lots of nice spots with plenty of water. | |

| Climbed Shavano on standard route with Dustin Kelley. Also climbed Tab the same day. One of the longest glissades I have ever done. Great day and great weather. | |

| Longest glissade ever, from right cuff to dress hem. High wind and blowing debris on the hike up. | |

| You'll be thankful for the well groomed trail because this is a long one, especially when you add Tabeguache. | |
