"Always a good day when you tag 5 peaks in a shorter scramble. The attached track has a couple of erroneous pings that will look pretty obvious if you were following it. And, after Peak 4608 we went to another highpoint that is not a listed peak. So, you would just continue down the long slot/gully to the south instead of veering off to this highpoint. To save the walk across the bottom of the Calico area we set up a shuttle. " — Heartattackbruce • Jan 31, 2024

"1.13.2022~Red Book to Red Cap 4 peak Scramble. w/Calico Tank West & Calico Tank Peaks w/Adam. 4.6 miles, 2,000’ gain, 3:28hrs.
Aztec Sandstone Surfing at its finest. Adam hadn’t done these peaks so I took him on my fav touring traverse of them. These routes were shown to me when I was a newb…before turning Emo/solo. I covet them now and love using them as a hard workout. It’s fun to share the secret Sandstone matrix with a friend. I incorporated the Red Cap Double Slot route into the ascent of Red Cap and the Descent back to the car. We made fairly quick work of it in a total time of 3:28hrs for a clockwise/South to North trending loop. The clouds kept the temps cool on this warm route." — paula.raimondi • Jan 13, 2022

"11.17.2020~Calico Hills 6 peak Ridge Traverse loop South to North. 7.2 miles, 2,700’ gain, 4:49hrs. Epic accomplishment on this difficult route that not many can do unless they are led. Complicated route finding and tons of relentless scrambling and class 3 climbing. Not sure many women (if any) have done this solo. Took 3 days of recon to figure out the 1st section and I still got a bit hung up today. Super proud of myself. 4:49hrs. Got to the last peak in 3:39 hrs. Very hot on the sandstone today. I sweat a lot. I consumed 2 liters of fluid, 2 slices of cauliflower crust pizza and one piece of healthy cake. Weather person promised clouds and breezes but they never materialized. Peaks included~Calico hills South, Calico Hills 1, Red Book, Calico Tanks East and West and Red Cap (aka Turtlehead Jr.) " — paula.raimondi • Nov 17, 2020
"10.13.2020~5 peaks, 6.2 mile, 3,000’ gain, 5hr (95%) Scramble in the Calico Hills. Red Book, Calico Tank East and West, Red Cap & Tinaja Peaks. Hot Fall Day. With an 11:30am start, 85 deg. and no breeze, it was an inferno on the sandstone. Lots of practice on exposed creepy ledges and class 3-4 climbing. I had some navigational issues on the 1st peak but after that, I got in a flow. I had to ration my water towards the end. Had the place all to myself! I’m beat! https://youtu.be/jt-YwR9uoMA" — paula.raimondi • Oct 13, 2020
"11.9.18...The most Epic Mountaineering Day of My Life. 10.5 Peaks, 11 miles, 4,200’ gain, 8hrs of sustained scrambling, traversing all the Calico Ridges in Red Rock in their entirety with Horse Peak as an extra credit (out of the way) running finale. I failed at one of the exposed go around corners along the way but I hope Harlan forgives me for backing down on that one. I did most of the hard stuff but I have my limits. My hands are completely bruised and battered and my hips and glutes are scraped clean of many layers of skin from crawling through sandstone all day. Thank you Harlan for keeping me safe with hand lines and body parts. Thanks for going out (pre event) and scoping out the exact route and stashing water and Gatorade. I can’t believe how strong we are. My mind is blown!.....Calico South Peak, Calico Hills 1 Peak, Red Book Peak, Calico Hills 2 Peak, Calico Tanks Peak, Red Cap (and its twin Peak Turtle Head Jr.), New Peak, Kraft Peak, Big Bird Peak (east Kraft) & Horse Peak (Peak 3844). I’m calling this signature route, “The long way to Horse Peak”." — paula.raimondi • Nov 9, 2018
"I crashed the Eva (Eva's tower is named after) and Friends (including Susan, Harlan, Jacquie, Barb, Peter and others) hike today for a fun scramble to this peak. I couldn't get there til 9:30 so I caught up after they started. 1st sunny day in a while with crisp cold air. Very fun." — paula.raimondi • Jan 6, 2017
"Harlan took me on a 5 peak Route that was absolutely thrilling and amazing. 4:15hrs and 5.5 miles of intense scrambling atop colorful sandstone. A Great workout and confidence building activity. We Left Kraft Mtn parking lot and started with Red Note Peak, then Calico Tank So., Calico Tank No., Red Cap then a complete traverse of the rugged limestone New Peak Mtn and ridge. We finished down Hell Hill. Amazing experience. It was very Fun playing on the rocks like a kid." — paula.raimondi • Nov 3, 2016
