There are really no standard routes, the peak can be summitted by any number of class 2, 3, and 4 routes from most sides. The rock is solid and the climbing generally excellent. In addition, one can incorporate the awesome boulder fields to the SE into the approach.



The boulder fields could be a destination all their own. The next shot is looking SE from Pyramid Peak along the approach route.

Getting There

From I - 17, take Happy Valley Road west to 51st Avenue. Head north on 51st Avenue to the end of the road at the CAP canal. Park here, cross the canal, and start heading through the desert and boulders to the northwest to Pyramid Peak.
