"Started out on the PCT heading north. In under 2 miles, a summit trail branches off to the left from the PCT. It is a rather straightforward climb to the top from there. From the top, I looked over at Bucksnort Mountain and realized why nobody climbs it. There is no trail and it would be a mighty bushwhack." — MikeTeeples • Dec 16, 2023
"Picked up the PCT right outside of Lake Morena Campground. Went 3.1 miles south to find the summit use trail slightly visible to the right. The trail was pretty clear much of the way toward the summit, in about 1.5 miles. Toward the end, rock ducks helped keep me on course, but ultimately it comes down to good judgment. Great views up there!" — MikeTeeples • Nov 25, 2023
"Crossed over 79 after Cuyamaca and went right into Stonewall. Much busier; I understand why. This is a fun little summit with a nice, quick trail up. Good payoff for the easy climb." — edg • Sep 16, 2023
"Road the mtb up East Mesa fire road to the last long switchback. Didn't have the legs (or the water) to make it all the way to the top. Fun, very fast descent back to the car." — edg • Sep 16, 2023
"Rode the bike up from the pavement, though totally unnecessary given the recent bulldozer grading. Chill walk along PCT and decent though steep use trail to summit. Great view of San Jacinto, desert divide, and Santa Rosas from the summit. Chatted with a bunch of northbound PCTers in their first week on the trail." — edg • Apr 14, 2023
