First of all, it was like 9.7 miles and 4400k elevation gain... for some reason Gaia stopped tracking for a bit shortly after I started.
The East slopes of Shavano are about a month ahead of schedule (compared to typical snow melt) so it’s almost in full blown summer conditions. There are a few small snow patches/fields near treeline and just below the saddle to Shavano, but they are super easy to navigate through or around.

First 14er. No switchbacks just straight up. Physically a thrilling challenge.
