I set out attempting to get close to Laura Paschke's benchmark on the ascent and round trip of Devil's Peak. It was a warm morning for the climb. I carried 2L of liquid and drank almost all of it before returning to my car. There was one creek with enough water to get my hat wet and cool down a bit. I was pushing to try and hit Laura's pace. After the midway mark of the ascent I knew I didn't have the fitness this time. Regardless, this is a fun climb with great views of Mt Hood on a clear day and beautiful Rhododendron guiding your way to the top during the early parts of summer. I enjoyed the challenge and look forward to returning to lower my time some day.
