"12.12.18 Black Hills Solo 5 Peak Traverse. I see this beautiful ginormous Mountain from my kitchen window. Mount Scorpion, Black Hill, peak 4089, Peak 3954 & the Highpoint, Railroad Peak. 2nd time, 1st time solo and my fastest effort. 7 rough scrambling miles, 2,500’ gain in 4:43hr. Done in time to pick up the kiddos from school! I mastered the Monster Ridge. It was a sublime, adrenaline rush rollercoaster ride #namaste #waxonwaxoff #bigmountains #wildplacesnearhome #northmcculloughrange" — paula.raimondi • Dec 12, 2018

"It's been a long time coming for me to summit this Beast of a Mtn. I see it from my kitchen window and was so intimidated by the traverse I failed 3 prior times. I felt major shame on the first failure espcially when an ex friend (who came along with me) made clucking sounds ("you are a chicken") as I quit from vertigo and fear on the 1st hill. To him I say, "F-U!" In all we bagged 6 peaks and peaklets on the No./So. Traverse including the High point of Black Hills, Railroad Peak and Railroad Hill after the descent. A Hill far below with cool views of our accomplishment. I couldn't have done it without my mighty hike Pal Shin. He helped give me the confidence for success and made me feel very safe! No clucking sounds from this friend. Only words of encouragement! We enjoyed my thermos of cafe mocha and Shin flew his drone too." — paula.raimondi • Jan 25, 2017

"We attempted to do the 'Railroad Peaks Traverse' from Point 4089 to Railroad Peak, but some pretty gnarly thunderstorms rolled in before we could climb Railroad Peak. Oh well. We still bagged Point 4089, Black Hill and Point 3954. " — Kevin • Apr 10, 2016
