Warm temperatures on Sunday caught me by surprise and mid afternoon I decided to try to get one more scramble in before the season officially came to a close.  I'd been eyeing the Devils Wing's (aka Angel's wings) on the east face of Boulder mountain and decided to go for it.  I hurriedly made a peanut butter sandwich, dumped a box full of clif bars in my bag, filled up on water and I was out the door.  

My haste (as per usual) led to some poor planning decisions.  ​Clearly, it would have more efficient to start at Shanahan Ridge but I wanted to try something new and headed out towards the S. Boulder Creek West trailhead.
