"We parked off of Northshore Road and hiked up the wash until we got to a sidewash that headed towards the SE ridge of Mud Crag, then made our way up there. Rich & Justine turned back from there, while the rest of us made our way across the valley to Mud Hill. The route up to Mud Hill was fun, but everything after that kinda sucked. The route we took down from Mud Hill was steep & loose. Our original goal was to try to go up the NE face of Mud Tower, but looking at it from Mud Hill didn't look so good. We got a bit closer and that didn't improve, so we went around towards the SE side, wher" - Mud Tower, Kevin, Dec 15, 2018

"12.13.18. Bristlecone Peak (aka Raintree Peak) with Maia. Thank you Maia for another epic buddie adventure. We laughed, we chatted, we frolicked and consumed mini tacos and regular sized beverages, then practiced the fine art of making a snow angel. We met a lovely rescue doggie named Kerby and his dad Mark. The snow was sparkly and divine and it felt good to get 10,000’ above the sea to the top of a big Mountain." - Bristlecone Peak, paula.raimondi, Dec 13, 2018

"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" - Peak 3954 ft, paula.raimondi, Dec 12, 2018
