North America, United States, California, Sierra Nevada, No Name Pyramid

Publication Year: 1974.

No Name Pyramid. On August 12, Jack Roberts, Mike Graber, and I climbed a new route on the east face of a prominent peak referred to as “nameless pyramid 0.2 miles south of Kearsarge Pass” in the guidebook. Starting from Heart Lake, our route follows a diagonal crack system clearly visible in the center of the east face. A few pitches of very interesting face and crack climbing and a very long traverse left and then back right ended at the right skyline of the pyramid. The exhilarating pitch on the sharp summit arête (climbed in 1952) took us to the top of this 12,000+ peak. NCCS III, F8.
