Camped at Scorpion Canyon. Wind was very strong during the night, but the tent held. Campsites 1-15 were a little more sheltered. Nice hike up to El Montanon. I enjoyed seeing the waters around the islands where I participated in a large naval exercise in the 70's.
Ridge but not the tippy top Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2011
We backpacked from Prisoner's to Scorpion which crosses Montanon Ridge just a few hundred feet shy of the peak. Great views! The trail is very narrow and rocky and steep in spots (from the Prisoner's side especially).
from Scorpion Anchorage Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2010
Day-hiked this one with Steven Stembridge during a day excursion boat trip from Ventura harbor. Beautiful weather and scenic views came down the Scorpion Canyon Trail
Dayhike From Campground Date Climbed: Nov 14, 2009
Hiked on a very clear day with the wind ripping up on the ridge. We took the trail from the upper campground above Scorpion. The views from the top are great.
Did this peak during a archaeological survey trip. One of the most amazing hikes of my life. The views of the islands spreading out from the summit are insane. I lead the Lower Peaks section to this one. An amazing peak!
