Ascent Trip ReportThere is a fire road that goes beneath the telephone lines, which can be used to access the peak from the north summit. This is a regrettable hike that I don't recommend. There's poison oak everywhere, and stinging nettles. The road is completely overrun with all manner of snaggly growth. Really, it's just not worth the scrapes and stings and unpleasantness and effort. I tried to go from here to Montara Knob and, well...forget it. I really can't understand how anyone on here has made it to the top of that thing. Doggedly desperate peakbaggers I guess. |
