This is the third highest peak on Cerro de Las Mitras and is one of the most often climbed. Pico Pirámide (Pyramid Peak) is not as famous as it`s neighbor to the east (Pico Perico), nevertheless climbing it has the same grade of difficulty,since the trail to climb them is the same up to the Perico-Pirámide saddle and then the hike on the ridge involves the same kind of scrambling as for Perico, only a bit longer. The views from the summit are a little obscured by Perico to the east and Pico Cuauhtémoc to the west. When viewed from Cuauhtémoc one can see the dramatic cliffs on the north , west and south sides of Pirámide, that`s why the only route is from the eastern ridge. A lot of people climb Pico Perico also either before or after climbing Pirámide
