	Trip Report: Pyramid Peak
		Exhausted from the previous day's hike of Maroon Peak but encouraged by our success, Amy and I continued with our plan to attempt Pyramid Peak.
		Maroon Peak was more strenuous, but Pyramid required much greater care for a safe trip due to the final steep slope and loose rock.
		Neither peak offered much of the delightful scrambling enjoyed on ridge routes on Lindsey, Wetterhorn, or Sneffels, and I am hard-pressed to think of scenarios in which I would climb either again.
