One of the few points where the route heads on to the N side of the NE ridge. This is only a few minutes walking from the top of the couloir.

The North Face. This was taken from the point at which you want to start heading W-SW across the Cirque.
The mountain goats seemed to pretty much follow the climber's trail (or vice versa), unless they were scared off the route by climbers. So, if you see a goat, follow it!

At the toe of the North Face Cirque, looking towards the N Face. The route into the Cirque more or less follows the skinny snowfields. Where the snow is too steep or slick, there is a poor trail that traverses the right side of the gully.
Nearing the summit. This is one of the few spots where the route actually climbs on the NE Ridge.

The North side of Pyramid Peak from the Crater Lake Trail. The NE Ridge is the left ridge in the sun. The route to the cirque climbs up the steep tree & talus-covered hillside, arriving at the saddle to the right of the large patch of trees in the center of the photo.
