"1.28.19. LMNRA 4 Peak Combo Happy Meal. Mountaineer Monday. “Keeping the blade edge sharp Grasshopper”. 7.2 miles, 2,100’ gain. Murphy’s & Little Murphy’s Peak traverses, Polytick & Mine View Peaks...and a teeny bit of Bowl of Fire. I blasted off from Northshore Rd and was to the top of Murphy’s Peak in a strong fast effort of :42 min. The rest of the hike I took my time and cruised for 4:52hrs total. Super rough and sharp terrain but I came equip with my lucky (and protective) sailor pants! Fun to get back out in the Desert and trek around. I can’t say enough about how colorful, stunning and pristine it is out here. What a gem in our backyard. Warm sunshine and nice breezes today. Bighorn sheep too!" — paula.raimondi • Jan 28, 2019
"11.27.18 Murphy’s Peak & Little Murphy’s Peak, LMNRA....I don’t easily accept defeat. I’m a problem solver and a fighter. 3rd time’s a charm on this big Mountain. Today my strategy was to wear protective clothing and gloves because climbing this steep mountain is like climbing razor blades. Today the mountain seemed less steep and less dangerous since my body and skin were fully protected.
These mountains were named after one of my fav bad a$$ mountaineer Buddies, Susan Murphy, so failure wasn’t an option. I saw this quote on a friends FB post, “don’t fake it til you make it, face it til you make it!”...So that’s what I did. Nothing is impossible until you believe it’s impossible.
