Ladyface Mountain

Ladyface Mountain gear layout

Pre-dawn hike this morning up Ladyface Mountain in Agoura Hills. Short and steep 1 mile, 1000' ascent that started under stars and a crescent moon and finished in twilight at a flagged (psuedo?)-summit. Heard many coyotes and saw a graceful, swooping owl enroute. Steep and loose in sections with several short near-vertical rock scrambles.

Watched sunrise from the flagged peak, recorded visit in logbook. There is a peak a short, easy walk to the west which appears to be higher elevation (true summit?). Visited there as well. Hoping for company - never showed.
