| Jonodo | Maple Shadows Road  Date Climbed: May 9, 2009 | |
| Not too much to see on this one. Nice warm spring day. Also tagged the Sonoma County HP. I cleared as much of the trail as possible. There are still lots of downed trees but the road is pretty easy to follow. | |

| Adamus | Snow in wine country Date Climbed: Mar 22, 2009 | |
| From end of Maple Shadow Road from the east. Fun stroll. There was a lot of snow from the night before. 2-4" most of the way with well over a foot on top. Should've brought gloves. 2 hours to the west rim COHP at a leisurely pace. | |

| mpjones | Too steep, not today Date Climbed: Nov 24, 2007 | |
| Quite a bit steeper than I was expecting, though nothing I couldn't slog through. Made it up to about 4300' when I started to feel like crap, and realized I was dehydrated. I'd been taking plenty of water breaks, but as it was so chilly out I was only drinking enough to wet my throat. I stopped to drink and rest, but as soon as I stopped moving I felt my temp start to plummet. When you get an overwhelming urge to lie down and curl up in a fetal position it's generally a Very Bad Thing. Oh, and then my GPS crapped out on me. That sent me packing downhill. | |

| The hike to Cobb was very pleasant. The trip over to the west ridge was an adventure, wish I had a machete with me. Also, make sure you have cash when crossing the bay area bridges, it's a $25 fine if you don't. They don't take plastic The picture is on the West Ridge at the Sonoma County High Point | |

| derbilly | Yay, a P2K Date Climbed: May 15, 2004 | |
| Tagged this on the way to West Rim. Little did I know that I was also picking up a P2K. Watch out for the untrained, unleashed attack dogs at the bottom. | |

| Michael Perry | Interesting and challenging remote hike Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2007 | |
| Started from the gate at the end of Pinewood Way on a relatively warm day for Spring. Besides dodging a few downed trees, had relatively little problem finding the way to the summit. Good view to the north, but thats about it, just trees, trees and more trees. The West Rim was another story, which was confusing, it was late in the day so will have to try it again at some point. Coming back down was also a bit of challenge with no distinguishable trail near the top in some places. | |

| Start from the 175-Maple Shadows Rd intersection,Jog up Road to No Tresp. Gate-easily circumvent,the trail is sometimes not easy to follow,go under a couple fallen trees,eventually do find the East Summit and very shortly after the Middle Summit and Cobb Mtn Peak,where I sign register,The West Summit peaking requires more perseverance,going through some brush but I do get there eventually in under 2 hours-Coming down though have major difficulties though-losing trail within a half mile after descending from the east summit-bushwhack my way all the way down until I finally hit a trail that leads to a private residence, but it is within a 100 yards of Highway 175 so rather luck-still a bit scary. | ||

| Bob Burd | From the highway Date Climbed: Jan 8, 2006 | |
| Took two tries to get to the county highpoint. The first time I was a little too cavalier and missed it by half a mile. Cobb Mtn is easy enough to find, but the West Rim is a bit tricky. Trip Report | |

| Hit bad fog on my 2001 try, but managed to visit summit. Went back in 2003 to do the Sonoma cohp with my wife. Nice hike, interesting area. | |

| Chris Doig | should have brought skis Date Climbed: Mar 4, 2007 | |
| Hiked with pals Jeff and Alex. Started off normal enough but ran into over a foot of snow at the summit. Have to go back and get the Sonoma County high point on the west ridge. | |
