Pyramid Peak

Pyramid Peak

A day after climbing Mt. Dade, we headed up to Dade Lake, then up to Peppermint Pass. We followed the ridge which was easily Class III/IV. If your going to climb it please bring a pen or two to donate to the registry which was last signed in 2016. Thank you to Rock Creek Pack Station for packing us up to Chickenfoot Lake for a great "base camp" experience. It will certainly be the only climb I go on where the pre-climb meal is fresh bacon and the post-climb meal is grilled steak!
