Sawatch Range climb, Day 1

100_3422

Crestones, Sangre de Cristo Range. Someday...

Just arrived in Buena Vista, CO. Awesome drive up, and as you’ll see, a dramatic look at the Crestone Group in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I’ll be north of there a ways in the Sawatch Range, but anyway, the view was spectacular.

The weather up here is great, and the forecast looks ideal for a climb up Mount Shavano’s east face on the Angel of Shavano couloir. This will be a climb up a snow route, which should be challenging and fun. Me and my climbing buddy will spend a day acclimating, then hit the mountain Wednesday. Stay tuned for updates and photos!
