Goal complete, I might as well go down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well.. North Peak was only about a mile over a gentle ridge line from where I was, so I decided to pop over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for the last 100 feet which is a real steep climb up a crumbling road (or what used to be a road), it was another enjoyable hike over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could have go over to the Main summit from there, but decided I&#8217;d rather get a pizza and go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to go down the East side on an unofficial use trail. It was a very well travelledd trail, so wasn&#8217;t hard to follow. It was VERY steep, so I&#8217;ve only used it to descend. I can&#8217;t imagine climbing it (although I passed several people going up).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A nice day hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a data-flickr-embed='true' href='https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/wanderingjim\/sets\/72177720318176098' title='Mt Diablo June 2024 by WanderingJim, on Flickr'><img src='https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53810571566_7b8f11a579_z.jpg' width='800' height='600' alt='IMG_2868'><\/a><script async src='https:\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js' charset='utf-8'><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mt Diablo June 2024 Photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">I had not had the time or motivation to climb up any of the peaks in Mt Diablo State Park&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[24,23],"class_list":["post-5457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-where-ive-been","tag-24","tag-bay-area"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_2895-copy-scaled.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pg6j8i-1q1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5458,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5457\/revisions\/5458"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wandering.earth\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
