Mt Shavano via Angel of Shavano, San Isabel National Forest, Colorado

We summited Mt Shavano, the southernmost 14er in the Sawatch Range, via the classic Angel of Shavano snow climb route on 6/1/2024. We contemplated going over to neighboring 14er Tabeguache Peak as well, which is only about 1 mile away, but decided against it due to the amount of snow still present on the traverse. We proceeded with an epic, 1000ft glissade down the Angel from top to bottom. Total stats: 8.4 miles with 4,470ft elevation gain

I've heard of the Angel of Shavano but did not know where or what it was. Thanks for the great adventure!

Thanks Vickie. It is a unique feature of this 14er and a fun alternative route when condition is right
