| iditarod81 | Accidentally stumbled on summit  Date Climbed: Apr 2, 2009 | |
| Hiking in SPVCP, just kept on the trail until we reached a summit, which we discovered was Montara. Gorgeous views - really cool to see both the bay and the Pacific. | |

| jpmossy | Hike Up Old San Pedro Rd. Date Climbed: Dec 16, 2008 | |
| A beautiful day on the mountain as always! Winter rains have receeded leaving the coveted crystal clear conditions on the peak. The views were amazing. Summited Peak Mountain, North Peak and two minor rocky peaks on the northwest side of the mountain. | |

| huskertriguy | Isolated MTB summit Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2008 | |
| Started in early evening from the beach trailhead. Parking lot was full, but most of these people by far were at the beach. Saw a total of 5 people on the trail, only 1 other cyclist. Had the summit to myself except for the obnoxious towers. Still, the panoramic views of the Bay and Pacific were worth it. Hustled back to the car for a refreshing post-ride beer. | |

| tarol | Foggy day so no view... | |
| ...from the top. But the trail was great, the manzanita bushes were blooming and I saw several banana slugs. I only passed one other person on the trail up from San Pedro Park. | |

| This is one of my favorite mountaineering training hills; hiked it with my friend Dave (ndriley97), carrying ~8 gallons of water between the two of us. We were so impressed and shocked by the runners that were going up and down multiple times that we left at least a gallon behind instead of dumping it. What say you Karma Gods?! | |

| Hiked this as part of an organized trail run. The trail is not ideal for two-way traffic, especially when you have really fast people running down the trail while you're hiking up. Seems a bit too narrow for that. The view was superb, but I ran out of water at the top. | |

| johnk | Route Climbed: west ridge Date Climbed: dec 03 2006 | |
| the west ridge route runs parallel to the wide main route. it follows power lines up to the summit. to avoid the crowds i hiked a short distance up the main route and bushwacked to reach the overgrown west ridge. about 20 feet of bushwacking lead to the ridge. 24hrs later i was covered from head to toe in poison oak (all the leaves had dropped, so could not tell). needless to say i dont recommend this route. | |

| Al Pine | Route Climbed: san pedro valley county park over to mcnee ranch Date Climbed: august 21 2005 | |
| Climbed Montara today with a small group of people. We were short for time, and as a result, took the shorter San Pedro Valley County Park route instead of the Montara State Beach route. Made it to the summit and back in just over two hours. The summit of the mountain was, unlike the majority of the climb, not shrouded in fog. Only the tops of Mt. Diablo, Mt. Tam, and some other ridges of the Diablo range were visible from the summit. On a clear day, this hike would be great. | |

| Rad Thibidauoxx | Route Climbed: San Pedro Valley County Park Date Climbed: August 21, 2005 | |
| Reached the summit with David and Al Pine. Its a pretty steep ascent but we it took us about an hour to reach the top from the parking lot. It was a so-so day for a hike. On the plus side it was a cool day but on the downside it was foggy all the way to the top. On the summit we were just above the fog and it made for a great view. Even with a ten minute break at the summit the hike took about two hours, not a half a day as the route information suggests. | |

| Went with Rad. Made it from the parking lot to the summit and back in 2 hours. The summit was just above the fog layer, so we had a decent view of some distant peaks. | |

| coastclimber | Route Climbed: San Pedro Valley/Montara Mtn trail/Fire Road Date Climbed: Many | |
| My favorite local hike. Usually very uncrowded, and great to do in any season. The weather is fairly unpredictable though, so be prepared. I've experienced rain, heavy fog, howling winds, and scorching heat on the summit - sometimes within a couple of months! The waterfall on the Brooks Creek trail is seasonal, so the best time to see it is late fall/winter. | |

| Wonderful day, a bit breezy at the summit but the views were astounding. Made the trip in 2.5 hours. Hiked with hyperboliticans and a soon-to-be-summitposter Annette. Could see clear down to San Jose, Mt. Tam, Mt. Diablo, and of course the sea. | |

| Short stroll. The waterfall (Brooks Falls) was pretty lame--a little trickle out of the hillside that I had to squint to see. | |
