| Summitted despite some of the worst insect swarms I've ever experienced. Should have brought a drysuit and a motorcycle helmet. | |

| Nice and easy hike up along the Cone Peak Trail. Simply spectacular views of the Big Sur Coast from the summit. Hiked in spring when the ticks were out in full force - pulled several off of me along the way up. | |

| The climb itself it quite easy...the road to the trailhead was a little more difficult! Great view, worthwhile hike. | |

| metasyn11 | Twin Peak and Cone Peak from Vicente Flat camp Date Climbed: Mar 31, 2007 | |
| Headed up Stone Ridge to Twin Peak then ridge-whacked to Cone Peak, back down to Vicente Flat. Cross-country was not bad and the views and wildflowers were gorgeous. | |

| A long dayhike from Vicente to the ridge road, then up to the summit. Descended on the ill-defined Gamboa "trail" (I use that term lightly here). Thousands of ticks on every bush and tree. A 25mi adventure that dumped us out on SR 1 over 3mi from our car. | ||

| theronmoon | dream come true Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2006 | |
| On a plant collecting trip I was able to finally make my dream come true. It was all clouds on the way up until summit break. With the grandest views i have ever seen. Watched the sun go down and the almost full moon come up. Favorite peak experience yet. | |

| Dennis Poulin | Route Climbed: The Wrong Trail Date Climbed: 5 November 2005 | |
| Followed the trail at the end of road up to the north ridgeline and then the north ridgeline to the summit. Why do I do these things when there are easier routes? | |

| cjrandall | Cone Peak Trail Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2001 | |
| A night hike under the light of the full moon. Drove down from Monterey, arriving at the trailhead around 11pm. Needed only a small pen-size flashlight in certain places, I am probably the only geek in the world night-hiking without a headlamp. Not a breath of wind on the summit, and warm. A couple other hikers were camping just below the summit when I arrived around 12:15am. I walked carefully, not wanting to wake them. Hiked back down to the trailhead and camped at the end of Cone Peak Road. | |

| derbilly | Route Climbed: Kirk Creek to Gamboa loop Date Climbed: May 1, 2005 | |
| A long 25 mile, approximately 7000' gain adventure. We started from the Kirk Creek trailhead, took the Kirk Creek Trail to Vicente Flat, continued on the Vicente Flat Trail to Coast Ridge Road, walked along the road to the Cone Peak Trail and took that up to Cone Peak. On the descent, we continued on the trail down to Trail Spring, making a side trip to Twin Peak along the way. From Trail Spring we took the Gamboa Trail to the tick infested, slumping and disappearing Stone Ridge Trail to a coast overlook on the ridge between Limekiln Creek and West Fork. From here we decended on a combination of use trails to a dirt road that lead down to Hwy 1 just north of Limekiln Creek then hiked a few miles on Hwy 1 back to the car. | |

| rgreene | Route Climbed: Dirt Road + Trail from Nacimiento Date Climbed: 27 March 2005 | |
| 3 hours up, 1.5 down. Good exercise, clouds moved in as I neared the summit. Then it started drizzling. Ended in the dark in a total "rain out". Yay me. | |
