| Terry Fazio | Holy Jim Trail  Date Climbed: Nov 17, 2012 | |
| Hiked this trail before catching a flight home to Michigan in November. Beautiful on the way up, but fog rolled in the last hour. Visability at the summit was less than 20 feet. It was actually a little creepy. Will try this one again some other time when I'm in OC and will hopefully get the full view. | ||

| Laron | Sweet Trail Run!!! Date Climbed: Apr 4, 2008 | |
| Ran alone up the washout road and then up the Holy Jim Trail all the way up to the summit and back. Since I only had one bottle of water, I was super thirsty when I made it back to the parked car. Fantastic run!!! | |

| toobspunk | Via powerline Ridge Date Climbed: Dec 10, 2010 | |
| Took powerline ridge up. Halfway down Trabuco road. Park at the road that leads up to Santiago Truck trail. Veer right instead of dropping down to Joplin Trail. Lots of bushwacking required. | ||

| apachedino | Twin Peaks 50 Miler Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2011 | |
| Did it twice as part of the Twin Peaks Ultra. 52.5 miles 17,000 feet climbing 11:40, good enough for 8th place. Not bad for my 1st 50 miler. | |

| MValentine | Great Trail Run Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2011 | |
| Recently did this two weekends in a row since it is so close being located in Orange County. On a clear day the views of the ocean are great. First time I took the Holy Jim trail up with a friend then to the fire road. The trip was about 16 miles round trip which was perfect for a trail run the next weekend to be more of a challenge. For sure planning on taking my mountain bike up here soon! | |

| Did a solo trip from Holy Jim trail to Santiago Peak. Nothing extraordinary on this trip. Luckily for me, weather stayed cool with nice breeze most of day. Car to summit: 2hrs 28mins. Will mountain bike this trail next time. | |

| BeerGut1 | The first hike of the new year Date Climbed: Jan 16, 2011 | |
| Went up the holy Jim trail to the peak and also hit modjeska that day. Trabuco Creek Road was washed by recent rain and impassable had to start the hike about three mile from the actual trail head making for a long hike. | ||

| Luciano136 | Holy Jim lower part - Road upper part Date Climbed: Nov 17, 2010 | |
| I never really made the time to hike to the top of this peak but finally did yesterday. Just over 3h to the top and just over 2.5h down. Went faster than expected. I couldn't immediately find the upper portion of the trail and took the fireroad for the remaining few miles to the top. Only saw 2 other people on the trail when I was almost back to the car. Beautiful day! | |

| catalyst81 | Harding Truck Trail route Date Climbed: May 24, 2009 | |
| Did this as training for Mt. Whitney. I think I'd rather do it via Holy Jim trail next time. My shoes were too small and my feet were dying by the time I finished. | |

| Diggler | Gem in the rough Date Climbed: Nov 14, 2009 | |
| Whoda thunk there was such a great thing in the OC??? Gotta be one of the nicer things in this area :) Felt extremely lucky that O'Neill Park had a campsite- couldn't find half the campgrounds shown in the atlas on the way from SD, & the one I did find & check out (San Mateo state park) charged $35/night- fuck that. Park ranger was nice & didn't charge me their standard $12 "processing" fee, so only paid $15- not TOO bad... Got in late, ~3.30 (which made it hard to get up in the morning). Started up from parking area @ 11.23 (Holy Jim). Great conditions- fairly warm, but fortunately in the shade for much of the time. Great views on the way up. Summited @ 14.47. Walked around top, trying to enjoy summit- difficult, as constant humming from towers, plus presence of installations themselves (+trucks+workers...) distracting (views far from ideal, as clouds obscured them from SW to NW). Left summit area ~15.15. Made good time down. Crickets & smells on descent wonderful. Back @ parking lot @ 17.45. Beat 2 guys back to parking lot that had actually started before I did, which was fun :) Great mountain & hike-great views on way up, wonderful foliage, creek, nice smells, ... highlight of this SoCal highpoint trip! | |

| Fun drive crossing creeks along Trabuco Canyon Road, then hike up the Holy Jim Trail. Have never seen so much equipment in my life on a summit before or since. | |

| cab | Holy Jim Date Climbed: Feb 21, 2010 | |
| No views the whole day due to fog. The drive to the trailhead parking area was the best part of the trip due to the rain the night before. Definitely need to get the truck washed now. Went to Modjeska too. | |

| What a cool hike, to get to this peak. Nice views. The top was a bit brisk and windy, but it was a great reward. The rest of the hike fell apart with miscommunications and our leader taking us down a way that made for an extra few more miles, but I choke it up to more experience and more training. That did though did not take away from being on top of this local landmark. | |
