| Climbed the peak with my Boy Scout Troop 614 from Scotts Valley, CA. It was a perfect day with great viability. Came up from the Ohlone Wilderness side and exited the Stanford Ave. side. What a view. | |

| requiem | summer bad | |
| parking lot to summit for the exercise. a steady grade, hot hot heat, and no cover made for not the funnest hike ever. the views were all hazy from the summit as well, but most of what there is to see is development, anyway. | |

| SFMountaineer | Part of Ohlone Trail Date Climbed: Jan 19, 2008 | |
| Climbed during our hike of the 28 mile Ohlone Wilderness Trail. Remarkable how crowded it was on the west side, yet how deserted it was on the east side! Good view. | |

| huskertriguy | Ohlone College Route Date Climbed: Jan 19, 2008 | |
| Definitely recommend the Ohlone College route, as Stanford Avenue seems to be more highly trafficked. Fine if you just want to bag a summit, I suppose, but for me part of the wilderness experience is at least some isolation, especially from the lowest common denominator (and there seems to be plenty of that on this particular peak). We initially attempted to park at the Stanford Ave., but once we saw the throngs of McDonald's clientele and Smurfs decided to opt for a less crowded route. We were well rewarded in this regard. We saw two separate coyotes, several hawks, and a mountain lion who sat perched on a rock motionless, awaiting our next move. I also highly recommend going toward sunset. More wildlife views likely at this time in addition to less folks. We had the summit to ourselves for a few precious minutes before descending. About one hour up, one hour down (we stopped at length for views of the sunset and wildlife). Easy and well worth it. | |

| Scott Fulton | Windy!! Date Climbed: Dec 24, 2006 | |
| Meant to traverse over to Monument Peak afterwards, but the extremely high winds made me not want to bother. Seemed like climbing up the entire route, beginning at Stanford Avenue, was into a headwind. Once I got to the ridge ascent, the winds were very high and bitingly cold. Beautiful day, though. Car to car in 1:45. | |

| Hiked up with Dan from the Sunol side : 10-11 miles / 2200'. I've hiked up this thing from Stanford Ave a bunch too, but this is the first time since my accident. Never took this route before either. Good training hike ! | |

| WickedRugged | Solid workout Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2007 | |
| A good training hike, beautiful weather and great view of the bay area. I'm glad I found this hike so close to home (Sunnyvale). Only took 1.5 hours, and I believe the total length of the route is 6.2 miles. | |

| panweilin | Moon hike Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2003 | |
| Although a Bay Area resident, for only a few time I actually went up to Mission Peak. There were twice up there for Chinese moon festival. And another trip was mountain biking up from Ohlone College and riding down via main trail to Stanford Avenue TH. | |
