That one's got a few people too. On a solid marine layer day it's often the only thing sticking up above the layer in the LA basin.

I misread Phliers post. Chasing it down that is the mountain I have always known as Saddle Back. A lot of folks have hit that mountain. I wasn't at my duty station a week until I went on a SAR to Saddle Back because a F80 trainer had disappeared on the radar. Finally found a wisp of smoke and a piece of a helmet. The disturbed dirt where the plane hit wasn't much larger then a kitchen table. What I thought was solid rock had completely swallowed the F80. No tin scattered at all.
