Jennings CreekThis was my first time climbing Tabaguache. We did it from Jennings Creek (before that route was closed.) We also did the traverse to Shavano.

Browns Creek THNice alternative to the standard route over Shavano. We hiked in the night before and camped just past Browns Lake. Combo'd with Shavano and a nice glissade from the saddle on the way down.

made it a 2-for 12 for 1. 44 min scramble down Shav and back up to top of Tab. Well worth the effort. Could hear coyotes howling in the valley below.

#19Climbed with Shavano, back over Shavano at the end. A long day, I was really tired at the end, that's for sure.

over from Shavano45 minutes from the summit of Mount Shavano. Very reasonsable and fun. Was rrreally windy, but the ridge between the peaks did a great job of blocking it.

Via Mount ShavanoI reached the summit at 10:15. The view of Browns Gulch is very pretty. The weather still looked reasonable by that time, but I took a few pictures and then headed back to Shavano, where I had lunch. There was a little rain when I had descended below treeline. I got back to the trailhead at 2:30.

3rd 14erSweet traverse to the summit from Shavao. Not too hard, and it didnt take too long either. I highly recomend it if you have already summited Shavano.

Third Time a Charm!Finally tagged the top while my son waited for me on the summit of Shavano. It was my third attempt on Tabegauche. Last year I was turned around by weather once and nausea the second time. Glad to have it out of my system.

Shav & Tab via AngelGreat day! The ridge between Shav/Tab wasn't nearly as bad as it looked. Actually a quick trip over and back.

Shav & TabPerfect weather. Great views all around, traverse to Tab and back over Shav wasn't as bad as it is made out to be. Great weekend in the Mtns!

good stuffa fine day indeed! ditto what Mots010 said about Shavano: Successful day on Shav and Tab. Weather was cooperative and the glissade down the Angel was a nice touch.
