And back down

Exercise Type: Walk

Weather: Windy and warm

Comments:
CRAZY wind on Friday night. No joke, it felt like our tent was gonna blow off the mountain. Funny that we watched Vertical Limit Friday night as well.

With how crazy the wind was, no chance for a summit so after hurrying to pack up our stuff (getting pelted with ice from the wind didn't feel too good) we headed down the mountain. I wanted to escape from the wind as quickly as possibly so I planted my ice ax into the snow and started glissading back down. So fun and the ax became like a rudder. Loved it. Made quick work and what was a 3hr ascent, became a nice 1hr descent.

Stopped at Black Bear Diner (Apparently the Original!) in Mt. Shasta City and headed back home. Still a fun trip.
