Itinerary description

Pyramid 1 shoulder for sunrise, over to Pyramid 2 via the cave under Pyramid 1s western side, up and down Pyramid 2 via western shoulder, back up and over Pyramid 1 via alternate ascent route.

From the end of stairs/start of the open rock face up Pyramid 1 hang a left and traverse your way across, Pyramid 2 access is easy after that.

The route up Pyramid 2 via the western shoulder will be reasonably obvious and fine for experienced hikers/climbers. Slightly steep and a little sketchy towards the top but fine with good shoes provided you pick the right line. More of an issue going down, so don't go up something if you're not confident you can get back down it!!

Up

Watercourse line is the quickest/easiest way up. Well worn in the centre, stick to the outer edges for more grip.

Climbing up option, could be usable down but not great with poor hand/foot positions.

The Northern crack, looks like a possible up/down option provided you can get out/in safely. Top end narrow, same cheese grater granite surface.
