"Paula and I worked our way up a catclaw-strewn gully west of the peak to a low saddle, then up a steep, loose slope to the summit. The views were great, as promised. We descended back to the saddle, then decided to lengthen the hike by following an easier gully south and looping around the southern end of the mountain. " — Kevin • Dec 5, 2020
"12.5.2020~Maid of Rubble & Railroad Hill w/Kevin. 11.5 miles, 2,000’ gain....2 great workouts. I enjoyed catching up with Kevin on these 2 special peaks in the Northern McCullough Range close to home. Maid of Rubble has been described as one of the hardest class 2 summit in our area and that is an accurate statement. A Jeep road approach, cats claw choked gully and final ascent on loose rotten rock next an exposed drop, required me to crawl my way up like a scared cat. The descent required 6 points of contact, including butt and cervix. Don’t ask....Fun day! Railroad Hill was also a worthy opponent with a sustained climb and 2 false summits. We were graced by Bighorn rams and yard Horses along our trek. Thanks Buddie! " — paula.raimondi • Dec 5, 2020
"11.28.19~Happy Thanksgiving from “Maid of Rubble”....3 miles, 800’ gain w/Hubs. I’ve been wanting to bag this one for a few years. My ascent route was very bad. @raimondiguitars hardest climb. It got rugged. It was hard to tell where the peak was from below and we didn’t want to drive the car in too far since a storm was expected. We climbed up a heinous side of the mountain and were greeted on the ridge by several “Jean-Claude Gendarmes” we had to find our way around....then an epic false summit. Luckily Adams W.’s Peakbagger track helped us find the escape drainage for the descent. This peak is well named. It is a pile of Rubble and a worthy opponent with grand views. Very loose and treacherous. (This Peak can be done in just 1 mile RT and with WAY less drama than we experienced today, if you park closer.)" — paula.raimondi • Nov 28, 2019
