Mescalito Pyramid Peak | Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, Nevada
Mescalito Pyramid Peak | Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, Nevada | Visit https://lasvegasareatrails.com/mescal... | John Garner, a climbing partner, requested I post this video of his climb to the summit of Mescalito Pyramid.
If you’ve ever hiked the Pine Creek Canyon Loop Trail, you may have noticed rock climbers dangling from ropes on the impossibly high vertical walls of Mescalito Pyramid Peak in the center of the canyon. If you’re not at that technical level of rock-climbing skill, you probably dismissed the idea of ever summiting this beautiful formation.
However, there is an easier class 3 route that begins in the North fork of the canyon, ascends Mescalito Pyramid from behind and finally descends to the South fork of the canyon where it reconnects with the Pine Creek Canyon Loop Trail. This video demonstrates the class 3 climb to the summit of Mescalito Pyramid!
