| Larry Laverty | Quiet Walk ![]() Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2008 | |
| I was always curious what the route was like up this little mountain. I guess its safe to say its basically your typical hillside fire road. My partner and I enjoyed the breeze at the top, had lunch, and headed for home. | ||

| calipidder | Easy day ![]() Date Climbed: Feb 16, 2013 | |
| Nice easy peak and a good change from my normal South Bay views. Crowds are a bit annoying down low on a nice day, and watch out crossing that road from the parking! | ||

| Did Table Rock hike first to justify the 2 hour drive time each way. Not to tough, boring fire road but great views. | ||

| RoryKuykendall | I love this mountain ![]() | |
| Climbed this as a kid with my dad in the 90s. I'd been wanting to climb it for years. It was the biggest mountain I could see as a kid growing up in the north bay. When we got to the top I was surprised to see that to the north there are even BIGGER mountains. | ||

| Zarathustra | Spring Hike ![]() Date Climbed: Apr 22, 2012 | |
| Beautiful in the spring, while most of the surrounding countryside is still green. I wouldn't want to do this hike in summer, as there is little shade along the fire road. Views from the summit are spectacular if you can keep the giant communications towers at your back. | ||

| Hiked this one with a group of boys from our Boy Scout troop. Quite an adventure. Rained all the way up and all the way down. This was one of those "let's tag the top and get the heck out of here" trips. | ||

| smurfer | best view of Napa ![]() Date Climbed: May 10, 2011 | |
| Here or Jack London State park, is the best view of the valley. Trail is a bit dull and telecoms antennae are at the top. | ||

| smurfer | nice view of napa, uninspiring walk ![]() Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2010 | |
| One of the best views of Napa region. I preferred the fire trail and scenery in Jack London State Park however. | ||

| Kathryn | The Far Side & the Bear | |
| Did a bunch of routes with JN. He lead a few sport routes, but we mostly TR'd. The approach is a few miles uphill on a dirt fire road. OK not spectacular climbing. Go for the views from the summit. 2/12 Climbed again with PM. Lead Ursa Minor on the Bear after PM left clips for me. Bailed right before reaching the anchor. TR'd the 11d next to BHS and pretty much French free'd the whole thing. | ||

| hightinerary | Routine ![]() | |
| Once in 2001 and once in 2005. When in Napa Valley, I like to hike in the morning, and drink wine in the afternoon... | ||

| ScottyP | Snow Hike ![]() Date Climbed: Nov 27, 2010 | |
| Training hike with 50#s of water. Plenty of snow on the top and heavy snow was falling as I headed down. Took the climbers route down to save some time. Not a good idea in the rain! | ||

| gman84 | Boring but great views ![]() Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2010 | |
| Road my bike up, boring ride, great views from the top though. Got napa county high point which is pretty pointless since your looking down at it from the main summit | ||
