Highlights
- Oak Mountain is a ridge, and Martins Knob is its high point.
- While looking up from the base of the tower, remember to also look down for the rusty razor wire that blends in with the surrounding weeds and grasses. Thorns at the peak broke off into my jeans and kept pricking through until I carefully pulled them out one by one.

"Ascent 1 of 4 this morning for me. Woodsman did more. On this first ascent explored beginning of road heading west along ridge from tower. Maybe explore farther another day, but today’s purpose is workout on this steepest hike I know in the area." — davidensley • Jul 23, 2021
"Ascent 4 of 4 this morning. Sun was getting high and shade was disappearing. Air temperature was in the upper 80s by now with high humidity and blazing sunshine, making this last ascent most challenging." — davidensley • Jul 23, 2021
