Starting through the desert, a view toward Pyramid Peak. We started toward the drainage right of center in this photo.

Pyramid Peak.

Entering the drainage nestled between the hills. Pyramid Peak top left somewhere.

Pyramid Peak ahead. We turn left out of the main drainage and headed northwest toward the peak.

A social trail led out of the drainages and up to the ridge crest.

Looking back into the drainage we ascended from, just as we get to the ridge crest.

Following the ridge.

Looking back toward the saddle where we joined the ridge. The drainage we came out of is visible on the right.

Pyramid Peak up there somewhere.

A very steep-looking slope is visible ahead. The route leads to the minor gully where the black rock touches the brown, center of the photo. This minor gully eliminates the need to ascend the awful-looking scree slope.


Approaching the minor gully.

Past the minor gully as we ascend to a short, flat area. The car is somewhere center right, near the distant hills.

Short, flat section before the final bit to the summit of Pyramid Peak.

Looking back as we ascend on some minor Class 2 black rock.

The ridge crest becomes riddled with pinnacles. A social trail leads to the left around all of it, avoiding anything scary.

View looking back toward Kailey as we start along the social trail.

Looking back as we continue along the social trail. You can see the sketchy-looking ridgeline pinnacles that the social trail avoids.

Pyramid Peak ahead!


Looking back just before the summit. This is a minor Class 2 section.

Pyramid Peak summit, view west. Zabriskie Point visible center.
