"2.16.19 ...5 peak, 12.3 mile, 3,700’ gain Traverse. Kasie and I Devour the Ireteba Ridge. I was feeling sorry for myself and deciding what to do to avoid a race I was signed up for (and didn’t really care about) when my friend Kasie texted me. She was craving the mountains and her friendship was just what I needed....7 miles of rough ridge and 5+ more of rough terrain along the foothills to return to her truck. 7:52hrs of sustained hard effort scrambling and bouldering (including some down time of shenanigans and snacks)...

You are a sweet friend and I’m lucky to have you in my life.

We Bagged Bard peak, Ireteba BM 5,052’, Ireteba Range HP 5,072’, 5,030’ & North Ireteba Peak 4,892’. There was one more lower lump but we had a long hard trek back to the her truck so we dropped down after 4,892’ as to not run out of time. It felt..." — paula.raimondi • Feb 16, 2019
