Round trip time: 20 minutes

Shake was a bonus on the way back from Guard/Agua/Store. To reach it, I took a dirt road from S2 north of Shake and was able to drive right up under it. It was a short hike to the top where I found the benchmark, register and a reference mark on the highest boulder. The reference mark was higher than the triangulation benchmark. It had quite a remarkable view for a small pile of rocks. I signed in, took a few quick photos and headed down.
