iditarod81	Brutal heat. Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2009
	Lesson learned: do not hike this hill in the summertime. Temperatures over 100 degrees; 64 oz H2O not enough. Great views of Mt. Um and a beautiful hummingbird sighting, though.

	It really does not really feel like a mountain at all, just a nub on a ridge. In fact El Sombroso itself is one of the least impressive parts of the hike. Overall though the trail offers some magnificent views of Um and neighboring peaks. Prepare for a great trail with a very unimpressive and dull summit.

	I have climbed El Sombroso several times. The Woods Road route is probably easiest due to being the shortest route, but has a lot of climbing over the last two miles. The views from the top mostly suck due to heavy chaparral growth. There is a spot about 300 yards west from the summit that allows a good view of the south bay if you're standing.

	I've done this a number of times, but can't remember when. It really isn't a "mountain."

	Nice good Saturday morning workout, probably around 12 miles roundtrip. Not the most satisfying or spectacular summit, just the top is marked by the highest tower along a long string of powerlines.

Al Pine	Route Climbed: from mt. umunhum rd and from kennedy/limekiln trails Date Climbed: can't remember
	The summit is kind of dumb- it's just the end of a ridge with a power line tower on top. There are good views to the south and east, however.
