THE PYRAMID TETONS (SOUTH-TETON PASS) | WYOMING | UNITED STATES
Summary | Elevation: 9,670 ft
THE PYRAMID
The view from the summit of the Pyramid is imposing. To the North intimidating chutes drop away. Across the gulch, Rendezvous Peak's prominent Martini Chutes look a bit more intense than they do from the valley floor.
There is no real safe route up or down The Pyramid if avy conditions are ugly. The NE Ridge ascent route offers the steep, cliffy face you just had to poke your way up. The SE Ridge presents a confusing smorgasborg of terrain. The South side goes from mellow glades to a mix of cliffed out ridges and terrain trap bowls followed by long, nasty chutes. The North face offers long, steep, exposed and uncertain chutes.
Current Weather in Wilson, WY Mostly Cloudy -8°F

Someone stole a fixed line I recently placed at the sketchiest section near the top of the ascent ridge. I'm miffed because it's a lot safer booting with the rope to pull on than the other option: si...[view]READ MORE
