Here's the view from the top looking back at Hermit's Peak:
Today's post will be a series of grainy videos that hopefully will give you a feel for our hike. It was pretty windy, so you'll hear a lot of wind noise on the videos.

A Video Ascent of Starvation Peak
Today, Lisa and I climbed Starvation Peak, a small butte/mountain near Bernal, NM. This is one of my favorite winter hikes, since it is close to home and usually not snow-bound. Plus, there are no rattlesnakes this time of year. It is so-named for the legend of a group of settlers who were trapped at the top by a group of local natives. Sometimes, you hear the story the other way around. Our hiking companions are Jeri B and Brett.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. We tried a few weeks ago but couldn't find a good notch to summit. Do you remember where your notch was? For example, was it due East of the peak? Thanks for any help.
ReplyDeleteNice! My family is from Bernal...good jobs guys...there was a large Ariel warning tower taken down in the early sixties..you still see some cables and housing bolt remnants up at the very top...Cool!
