MoapaPkGood-bye cabin  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2008

Dropped the packs at the Lake, and made a quick trip up Pyramid. I think the cabin may have been wiped out by an avalanche in 2004 or 2005.

This peak has become much more popular. Lots of 2008 entries, and I actually saw several people on top (from a distance) over two days.

Went down the ridge to the SW of Pyramid; granites, with a rough serrated edge in places. I was rewarded with a MacLeod-Lilley register that hadn't been signed for over 2 years.

Hiked up Baker Creek Trail to a place called Dieshman
Cabin, on the north side of Pyramid. Had to go X-country
across a large boulder field. The views were outstanding!

phydeuxVery "lonely" peak  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2007

Did this as part of a three day backpack that included summiting Baker Peak. Only two other parties had summited all year(!), and only 1 party in 2006(!!). Highly recommend the Baker/Johnson loop trail backpack for gorgeous, relatively untouched scenery, and great nightime stargazing!

cp0915East Ridge from Timber Creek  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2007

Fun loop. Ascended Pyramid's east ridge from Timber Creek. From the summit of Pyramid, I dropped down the northeast ridge, then went up to "False Pyramid" (11,456 ft). Descending False Pyramid's northeast ridge, I found the Baker Creek Trail, following it back to the truck.

jtreeFrom Baker Lake  Sucess!

My group combined this peak with Baker and Pyrimid Peak. We camped at Baker Lake. In the night a boulder came off the Wheeler Massiff and tumbled for what seemed like 10-12 seconds befor hitting the water on the other side of the lake. We thought that was the end of it, but the crashes turned into "SPLOOSHES AND SPLASHES," as it continued to move through the water toward our tent. Just at the point that I was jumping out of the sleeping bag and getting ready to run for my life, the boulder finally stopped. That was fifteen years ago and I still remember that incident with vivid recall.
