"3.19.2022~Devil’s Thumb (failed) Attempt #2 & Peak 3,515’. I started my track at the Hwy turn off. The bag of tricks I brought to try and protect the 2nd crux climb was a fail. It’s not hard but super exposed. I wasn’t bold enough to go for it. I will try again as I don’t think I’m willing to give up yet. I believe I can eventually push thru the fear. My approach route to DT was stupid and sloppy. (Harlan & Tracy have the best approach route.) I should have drove my car longer on the dirt road past the V junction since it still seemed firm. Peak 3,515’ was neat. Glad I did it on my way out despite feeling sorry for myself. This area is so scenic. It was a windy afternoon but I appreciated it since it’s a warm hike. I drove into the LORAN Station on my way out. It is trashed and abandoned with cool looking graffiti. It has a haunted vibe. *my Peakbagger acct is now private to prevent “coincidences” & “serendipity” AND in case passive aggressive male 30 and 40 somethings need to stroke their pathetic egos by “one upping” a 54 year old woman up a mountain ON THE SAME EXACT DAY SHE’s THERE….Allegedly" — paula.raimondi • Mar 19, 2022
