"11.13.19 Juniper Peak w/ Karla. 8 miles, 2,500’ gain. I had a time deadline....and of course my route finding on the approach was horrible wasting time and leading to Karla getting an a$$ full of Beavertail Cactus needles. That bad cactus has a variety of needles sizes for difficult extraction. (Sorry Karla!) Besides all that, we had another wonderful adventure. Karla enjoyed her 1st time on this peak. I made it to the school in time for Summer’s Conference. This route is amazing. Trail running, bouldering, scrambling and peakbagging. What more can you ask for?!" — paula.raimondi • Nov 13, 2019

"I climbed Mud Tower the day before, spent the afternoon painting & then camped out that way that night. This beautiful peak kept calling my name & I couldn't resist trying to find a way up the next morning. I hiked back the wash on the ESE side & made my way back to the NNE slope. The hike up was relatively short, but not very pleasant. The rock was some of the worst I've experienced out there & that's saying a lot! Loose, crumbly & awful. The top had some class 3 on rock that just breaks apart. I managed to find a better way down, but it was still not great. Good views. I was relieved when I safely got back down. The top is narrow & very loose as well. I never felt like I had full control of my feet the whole hike. " — StudioHoodoo • Nov 11, 2019

"11.11.19 White Pinnacle Peak (WPP) w/Harlan. 5.5 miles, 1,900’ gain. For the last 4 days this goal has consumed my every waking (and sleeping) thoughts. 2 solo tries had me giving up hope. What was beyond the chimney was my crux. For good reason. It was so advanced past that part, my mind was blown. I had to scrape the pieces of my brain back together and keep heading up....Luckily Harlan Stockman wanted to go with me today. He probably didn’t, really (he’s been there, done that and then some) but I think I worried him with my obsession. It was a way better experience with his guidance. Hardest climb I’ve done. The class 3 definitely felt like 4. Down climbing the way we went up was “interesting”. I walked the plank to the summit on my butt cheeks. He walk to the peak like he was in his kitchen going to grab a cup of coffee. The exposure was stunning. Maybe next time I will look at it more. I’d also like to eat a sandwich up there next time. Thanks Buddie. I appreciate you. (Photos by Harlan & Paula)" — paula.raimondi • Nov 11, 2019
