In 87 we did, and I seem to remember something about ***** Ridge.. little foggy though , anyone else remember or did I dream that **** up?

We also "ran" up it in 88, and "ran" down the back side, if you could call it running... Going down was harder I think, at least on your feet and shins.

Used to run it at least twice a month back in my younger days at San Mateo. I was a PT freak and she was a good challenge.

We did the Grim Reaper in Boot camp right after the "crucible" then had a warriors breakfast, I coulnt hold anything down but the food sure was GOOD! We also did Mt.MUthaFuker at MCT it sucks worse than boot camp, just we had ranks thats all. One Shiz head lost a barrel to his 240 golf and we spend 3 days humping up and down that damn mountain to find his barrel. We sure wanted F**** him up for good. He was transfered to a quansin hut by himself and some Senior ranking Marines to protect the dude. Thats my memory of the place.

Did it in Boot 1985...remember it well. I had to laugh at the Texas recruits regarding "the mountain"...Being from Western Washington State, I called it a "hill".

LOL ain't no switchbacks on Mt MF!

MCRDSD in '63 at the rifle range, we had two hills called little agony and big agony...is this what your talking about????the DI's ran us fuggin ragged on them....

In 1972 Sgt. Nally and Sgt. Devaney would just say we are taking a nature walk. Was kinda funny watching someone roll on the downhill portion of the nature walk

Mount "MotherFucker!" was pretty much any hill I was going up during a hump.....

We had people that ran to the top of Mt. Rainier, something like in 3+ hours, humans can do crazy shiat if they put their minds to it.

I did boot in 1980, with infantry training in August. We did Mt. MoFo - humped over from the back side during the day, did live fire, night fire, and night infiltration course, then humped up the face and over going back during the night.
I don't know what all this talk of running MF is... maybe the back side, but not the face of it. You can't run on a hill that steep. With 782 gear, ALICE pack, steel pot, and rifle, you can just reach out and touch the ground as you climb. I usually was hard pressed to keep up with the runs during PT, but humping those hills came pretty easy to me. I started out that night about 1/3rd of the way back in the second platoon from the head of the column. By the time we reached bivouac on the shelf above San Onofre, I was the 7th guy behind the CO (having passed all those guys who breezed through the runs).
These days I leave the humping to my kids. My oldest boy is with 2d Tank Bn. at Lejeune, and my next oldest boy is a grunt with 1/1 on his way home from his second tour in Iraq. My youngest just enlisted (as a weekend warrior - but enlisted all the same) and he will be another grunt. I was with 2d Amtracs at Lejeune and served with BLT 1/8, 24th MAU in Beirut in 1983.

That's the back side.

The other side is where everyone "got aquainted" with MMF.

Thanks for the update. I was just fixen to say that did not look like the Mount MotherF****R we went up.
WE did it in ITR not boot camp. Looking at this side I can see going up it at night but not the other side, which must be where everybody is talking about it being a bit(h going down and going bowling. We Route stepped the better part of the morning to get there and then went up it.
We also did it with full gear pack and all, Including carrying M60's or was 50's (senior moment here) with tripods and base plates, and ammo.
At the time I would have swore that the climb was 85 degrees angle but now I can be more observant and say it was only 75 degrees.
I was in third platoon (last) and so had to catch all those ahead of us that lost thier footing.
If you only climbed this side shown in the picture you did not really climb MMFR, on the other hand if you climbed straight up and came down this side then you climbed MMFRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Thank you. I thought I was losing it there for a moment reading all this about running up MMF, and anybody that says it wasn't that bad must not have gone up the side we went up.

I finally figured where you guys are talking about, being old and all...
The only really bad place on that hill was on the east side, a little fold in the hillside, maybe 400 feet high and always dusty and hot as hell. We used to lurk along the edges almost to the top and ambush climbers
