 Route starts off the Northshore Road in Lake Mead NRA. |
 This is how the Pinnacle (L) and Pyramid) appear from the west peak of the Northshore Ridge. |
 View N as we cross Pinto Valley. Bitter Ridge in distance. |
 View SE as we near the ridge. |
 |
 Justine, with Redstone Picnic area in back. |
 Near the ridge crossing at 2950'. |
 Now we head down an easy gravel wash. View SW to Guardian and Wilson AZ (on far skyline). |
 |
 The Pinnacle in view. We will go to the saddle R of the large cliff. |

 |
 Class 3 chute. |
 |
 Justine tops short class 4 wall. |
 We set up an etrier on a sling. Most of the energy would be absorbed by the shallow rock horn; I just needed to apply enough force to keep the sling from sliding off the horn. |
 |
 Some class 2+/# climbing right before the top. |
 View NW to Muddy Mountains. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Little Pyramid (L) and the crags where I had been 3 days earlier, and where CP had been that morn. |
 View up E to top, as I prepare a slightly more secure handline. |
 Coming back down. |
