Yep I did it, climb Rock House by first time even once again the trailhead is close to my house,I never done it before, in fact is the next mountain next to Seven Biatches.
The official name of this hill is Mother Miguel since is not as big as Mount Miguel, next to it. Is a long, twisty single track and some spots very steep and technical and yes I had to walk a hand full of swichtbacks but I'm proud to say that I cleared most of them, not bad since there are so many, I lost the count at twenty something of them, and most of them so tight. I guess this ride is somewhat similar to Cowles Mt. at Mission Trails, someone told me but I haven't done that one either.
Here are some pictures:

Good job Jose. That one is my favorite local ride, but not for the climb, for the DH. :D . I have not been up there in a while and it looks like the most right rock structure has changed (again). Thanks for sharing.

Going down there is a lot of tight switchbacks, a lot! Then a fire road but with a lot of loose babyhead rocks and ruts, I'm too much of a wuss going down but if you are in to that you'll love it.
