Description

This is the furthest right peak/tower that is shaped similar to a pyramid on the skyline as seen from the refugio. The north face of El Piramidal contains a number of quality lines and some of Frey's harder climbs. Most of the climbs are 5.10-5.12.

Getting There

The peak looks like a pain to get to, but it is actually a pretty easy and quick approach. From the refugio follow the trail to Laguna Schmoll. Once past the lake the trail moves up the steep scree field to Laguna Schmoll, follow this a short ways and use your best judgment when to head off of it to head up to El Piramidal. We found it worked best to scramble through some small cliff bands, avoiding any steep snow. About a 40 minute approach.
