I was surprised, too. More than once I worried that I was spelling the name wrong and that I was submitting a duplicate M/R page. There just aren't that many officially named peaks in this area. In fact, I think these are the only ones between the peaks of Mission Ridge and the peaks around the Rose, Discovery and Mount Lewis.
They do appear prominently from southbound 680 and I almost always look for them when traveling through the area. Next time I hope I can remember to have my wife take a photo to use on the page.
And a great writeup. Good to see another Bay Area peak getting recognition. Barely remember my visit there but the ancient tub rings a bell. Maybe another trip next winter...

OohhhhhSo that's what these peaks look like! Saw them for many many years of my life and never really looked into them. Thanks for the page!

Re: OohhhhhSame with me! I'd been looking at them from afar for decades. Finally seeing them up close made me realize that this is actually a mountain.
Thanks for the comment!

Surprised no onehas done a page on these peaks until now. If I remember, they are prominent high points when going south on 680.

Re: Nice work!Thanks for the comments, Chad. PM me if you'd like some 'old school' company for your redo next winter. It would be fun to do a hike together.
