Climb of Pyramid Peak on September 13, 2015
Starting slightly before 3am turned out to be a bad idea. Missed the gully to the saddle and went too far…
Bad thing about climbing up gullies you don’t know? Sometime it’s a dead end.
After wasting two hours I finally made it to the saddle

The type of rocks we’re dealing with? Both stable…and loose. Depending on which one you grab
The infamous “Gap” – The way down would not be fun.
Looking back after crossing the “Ledge”

The aspen leaves started to change color…
The colorful valley
Awesome mountains of the Elk Range
Hiker (Glen?) and a mountain goat going back down.
Glen, Pete and Desirae We decided to go back down together for safety reason. On the ledge…

In full daylight it’s easier to see the climb up the saddle
