Northeast Ridge
The northeast ridge route was generally straight-forward. There was a path for a good chunk of the route. Some route-finding was necessary. However, we were pleased with the route and found it not too bad.

Scrambler's Paradise
Took 51st Avenue north of Happy Valley Rd until it dead ends at The Canal. Crossed the canal bridge, scrambled over the 3-foot-high cement wall and took the service road north. At the tenth pylon, marked 3-2, turned NW on a dirt road heading straight for Pyramid Peak.
There are several ways to summit Pyramid Peak. (I have climbed it from the North, South & East). Not sure which is the easiest and there's no clear trail to the summit. This day, I ascended from the North.
Be prepared to scramble & wear long, sturdy pants!
Unfortunately, the summit flag, solar-powered lights and summit register have all been removed from the summit.
