I'm not sue anyone can actually ' claim the mountain! I live in the Valley between the mountain and what's called Vestavia Hills, our mountain has been covered with kudzu , and a road goes through it that connect the valley to the downtown area of Birmingham. You can however take the trails . I mean , if you're not afraid of snakes and whatever else is hidden in the Kudzu, go for it! Once I ran down it, not a great idea, there's places built with steps you can maneuver but idk of anyone getting pumped about ascending our mountain,. I Love our Area, it's beautiful, a diverse and big enough city while many of the surrounding communities have a small town feel to them. Homewood and Mt. Brook especially have communities that allow for the ability to walk to and enjoy, parks, restaurants, shops, churches. Our kids go to the best schools, are typically safe to walk places unsupervised, to and from schools as well. It's not for everybody, but it's the BEST LIFE for me and mine. Oh yeah, it's a very wealthy and beautiful place to live! Plus our weather is GREAT! We are 4/5 hrs from the most beautiful beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, and about the same to the Mountains of Alabama, GA,TN , same with NO. ATLANTA is a hop skip and a jump! But we don't need anyone extra here! LIL!! UAB an internationally known and excellent Hospital is located here that also has a University , so lots of Healthcare workers come from all over to get educated, or work here! I LIVE THIS PLACE!

Be patience. No need to rush. Maintain your heart rate at the level you are most comfortable.
Stop as you need to. Replenish water as much as you need. Eat and munch from time to time along the hike. Hire a porter or a mountain guide (both can be the same person) to be with you all the time is the best choice if you are moderately fit (cannot run up and down the mountain type).
Waterproof jacket and pants are important. Keep yourself as warm as possible. Don't underestimate the temperature. No heroic actions or ego needed, make sure you can reach to the summit is not only your physical condition (train for it no joke) but also your mental condition at that point. Turning back when you need to is not a shameful decision. It is a live or death decision. So turn back when you know you cannot. (Very costly when porters need to bring you down. Can reach to RM16-20K depending on your weight and condition.
Train hard. Don't forget to train your arms too. To reach the peak, a lot of robe climbing needed which need much arm strength.
Whatsoever, please stay safe and be wise to turn back whenever and wherever you are. Your life is more important than summiting.
