Hi Guys:

I'm planning on climbing Mt Diablo from the Southern Gate on
Saturday.  This will be my first ascent of this mountain.  Any have
any tips, recommendations on this climb?  I wen't up Mt. Hamilton a
month ago and had a wonderful time.  Did run out of steam the last two
miles up to the observatory.  Is the climb similar in gradient and
length?

Also is there anything I for which I should be observent during the
descent?  I will heading down the North Gate side.  I'm actually more
worried about the descent, since I don't descend well (okay, I'm
rather pathetic at it).

Claude
