Pectols Pyramid-- East Face

This is a stitch of two photos, and details will be better if you view it in "Orig." Here is the eastern face, with the two summits visible (the one on the right is the higher of the two). From this vantage, the traverse from the southern summit to the northern (higher) one does not look technical, but from other positions, it does. The north ridge (right) appears to be the easiest way to climb the peak, but, despite the appearance here, it becomes technical very quickly and requires some Class 4 and low Class 5 scrambling just to access it.
