"8.3.2020~Mummy’s Nose & recon. 4 miles, 2,800’ gain. 2nd time on the peak, 1st time solo and using this harder NW Avalanche chute route. Some Douche named Bill Fry carved his name in a lovely Bristlecone. His new name is Dick! https://youtu.be/sEuX01f16-I " — paula.raimondi • Aug 3, 2020

"It was a pretty day. It seems like I'm busier than ever right now, in many aspects of my life. Haven't been able to get out much lately & I felt it today. This is my go to hike for recovery & getting back in the swing of things. Oof! " — StudioHoodoo • Jul 26, 2020

"7.19.2020...Charleston Peak #98, solo, via Wallace Canyon (West/Pahrump side) 20 miles total, 11 miles, 2,100’ gain round trip Mtn bike approach~8 miles, 4,700’ gain on foot in 5:55hrs (including :15 min on top) My Kia is limited on rough dirt roads, so the Mtn bike came in handy....Today was hard on me as I’m still sick from the side effects of the Shingles vaccine I got a few days ago. This is a new ascent route for me and it was amazing, remote and gave me the solitude I crave in the mountains. It was one of the shortest and steepest ascent routes I’ve ever done to Chaz. It was relentless. There was some dramatic weather in the morning with thunder and sprinkles but I felt like sh#t anyway so I soldiered on and welcomed death if it happened to be my day to leave the planet via lightening strike or hypothermia from rain. (joke). Great day! 100 is so close! " — paula.raimondi • Jul 19, 2020

"7.11.2020~Wheeler Peak (13,065) & Jeff Davis Peak (12,775’) cirque Loop, solo. 8.5 miles, 4,000’ gain, 6:44hrs. 3,000’ to the top of Wheeler in 2:30hrs. This is a big “boy” mountaineer route and I was thinking of making it easy on myself and just doing a fast Wheeler but the Beast in me needed to suffer and accomplish something not many women (or people) do alone. The Descent of Jeff Davis was the most dangerous situation I have ever faced. I had to go down a steep grade on talus ranging in size between refrigerators and bowling balls and nothing stayed put. I just hoped my 120lb body had the grace to not set loose deadly rockfall onto myself. It was 1.5 miles of fear, finesse and exhaustion. The sun baked me as I suffered on this 2 hour section. When I stepped on the giant loose rocks, they made deep guttural sounds in the earth that sent shivers up my spine. Wheeler is the 2nd highest peak in NV and is in the Snake Range. It’s The highest independent mountain NV. I’m very proud to have taken on these glorious summits and am appreciative of my powerful body that carries me to the big mountain tops.
