Went for a direct ascent up Tabegauche a few clicks to the left of the left shoulder. Was about to get on the ridge and saw a big thunderhead rollin in..Got pounded with m and m size hail on the way down the inside of that shoulder in a skree feild. When we got to the base of the mountain by the lake it cleared up to bright and beautiful skies and about 80F. Fun time. will hopefulyl be able to go back and finish it soon.

2nd on the day
Made it over from Shavano via Blank Gulch. Quicker traverse than it looks, since you've just gone about 5,000 vert for Shavano, it may look REALLY FAR AWAY...don't quit! Keep going! It's easy.

Traversed from Shavano
Nice climb, great views. After Tabegauche, we headed over UN 13712 to Jones Peak. We descended Jones Peak to Shavano Lake which is probably one of the most scenic spots I've been to. Bushwacked through the drainage below the lake until popping out on the CO trail.

When we began the mountains were covered by clouds. We broke out the Shavano saddle to look over a white world pierced only by high mountain peaks. What a sight! By the time we reached the Shavano summit, all the couds had burned off for a great view in all directions.

Route Climbed: Blank Gulch from Shavano
Quite the workout after summting Shavano 1st. The ridge leading up to Tabeguache's summit is still holding some solid snow and the views were great.
I do not recommend going from Browns Lake. Route finding is difficult; the “route” is mostly missing due to slides that have changed the terrain since it was written in the Roach Guide. The day did produce some good quality suffering.

Combo w/ ShavanoI good class 2 hike. Best if you can car pool and descend Shavano's east face. . . if you want to do them both.
