Pyramid Peak is located at the head of the glacier-carved West Maroon Creek Valley and technical enough to be regarded as a climb more than a hike. While only 8 miles long, this route demands a high level of fitness and ability. The trail up to the 13,000 ft ridge is absurdly steep, and the final 1,000 ft is one of the loosest and most technical standard routes up any Colorado 14er. Bring a helmet, and be ready for a long day.
