The Pyramid

Seen from Pinnacles Hut this is the prominent pyramid-shaped cliff left of Christian Principles Wall – ref 798 310 Methven Map.

• Go to the point on the track where the Pinnacles Hut is first seen. Grid ref 799 317.
• Climb on to the rocky knob uphill from the track.
• Drop off knob downhill across grass to upper left-hand side where grass meets the scrub. Look for a cairn and go through scrub (semi-cut track) to dry creek bed.
• Go between two big boulders and venture up left-hand creek bed (true right).
• To avoid the bluff/waterfall leave the creek bed on the left-hand side and once above traverse back right into the creek bed.
• When the creek goes left, go straight uphill onto terrace.
• Go right into next creek under small waterfall.

There are a few flat sleeping ledges: the “Babbling Brook Biv”.

Look left to old rope and use it to navigate left under pyramid 798 310. Base of Crag.

There are also routes on the right-hand crag: Babbling Brook Right. The climbs require a reasonable selection of trad gear but also have bolts where the trad gear runs thin. Enjoy!
