Finally got my "winter" Shasta ascent. Dreaming of a 6k+ ft powder lap... but not yet... does it ever snow up there w/o wind? Start off with some panos...
 |
| this shows my descent conditions quite well... |
 |
| 4 am departure... |
 |
| and 5:45 am start |
 |
| cool shot of black butte down below... an island in the sea of fog. |
 |
| Now I know... but I had placed 2 insoles in this boot as I thought I could take up a bit of space. But this caused some major foot pain during this ascent... |
 |
| Shastina and Chicken Heads. Angels Wings in the shade |
 |
| The snow was actually descent down low. Harvesting turns down here would have been the skier thing to do. But the alpinist in me wanted crappy turns I guess.. |
 |
| after a quick recovery meal, I was home before the kids got home. |
