Finally knocked off another peak in the SF Bay Area Classic Peak Challenge. Smoldering hot, mid-90s, absurdly dry and everything prickly. Didn't see a soul the entire time in this vast wilderness. The thousands of cow patties make it clear: this is cow country. The short climbers' path to the summit starts at the bench on the northwest side of Maguire Peak (the west of the 2 peaks). You really can't miss the bench. Shortest way to get there is counter-clockwise. Tried to follow a 2nd climbers' path down the southwest slope but it was too overgrown with prickly plants so retraced my steps and then completed the loop. Note extremely limited parking on Welch Creek Rd, and high prowl (parked on scattered smashed car glass), so don't leave anything of value in your car. Maybe even keep your window down? Cows might get in then, so not sure.
