Here are some edits that need to be made:
1. Remove the apostrophe from the name (Devils Thumb). The USGS does not use apostrophes to avoid ambiguity on the map. This removal process should also be applied to the text, not just the title.
2. Please spell Fred's name right (Beckey, not Becky). Sometimes the spellcheck needlessly and erroneously changes it for you.
3. There is some thought that the names of Devils Thumb and Devils Peak got reversed. Old miners used to name them in the opposite manner. You could mention this but it is not entirely necessary.
Other than that, looks good. Thanks for putting up the page. So now where's Devils Peak?

Re: Edits
Thanks all for the comments and grammar corrections.
Klenke- That's an interesting piece of info on the names. Do you know where I might be able to get some info on why they were switched around or is it not documented? Thanks for the help. -Adam

Re: Edits
We were trying to get up on Devils peak too, but were not able to, due to unfavorable avy conditions. (Didn't want to post without knowing the route) Hopefully i'll be back up there one of these days. =)

Good JobNice addition. It's good to see all these new peaks being documented in my neighborhood. Now I have more options for how to spend the weekend. Thanks.

Re: Good JobThanks for the nice comment. New peaks are always fun, especially the ones that not very many people are on.
