Finally

I had been wanting to climb Pilot for several years and after an attempt in June that really never happened (bad weather), Ken Jones and I hooked up again for our second attempt. SP member Sacha (redsplashman23) joined us as he has a keen interest in Nevada Peaks after climbing a bunch of them in southern Nevada for the most part. He came from Ohio (where he now is working) although he'd rather be in Las Vegas where he has a home. We spent a couple days after Pilot doing three more Nevada peaks but the pics here are from our Pilot visit. Oh yes, as others have said, there isn't an easy route up Pilot but there is a lot of rubble to make your day interesting.
