Shasta Solo - 22nd summit

It's tough to argue with 9,000 ft ski descent followed by a 3,000ft mountain bike descent even if it requires not sleeping, driving 8 hours, and listening to 2 audiobooks.  Here's the vid of the successful day, which involved:

• midnight - woke up (got a good 2 hours)
• 1 am - packed, ate, took off from Oakland.
• 5:30 am - started hiking from Bunny Flat
• 11:30 am - summit, then skied down Wintun glacier
• 1:30 pm - back up to the summit, skied down Whitney Glacier -> West Face
• 3 pm - back at the car
• 3:30 pm - found a guy to drive the car down, and started biking
• 4:45 pm - back at the car
• 9 pm - back home

Angel Wings... skied that last year.  B & Scott went and hit it a few days after I took this pic. 

This hit the SPOT...

Also, I added a "page" to my blog about doing Shasta.  So you should see that on the blog now.
