The Pyramid is a climbing area on city-managed land within the Austin - Russell area, about a mile from the Boulder city limits. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as one stop in a day of bouldering in this corner of Boulder. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, with July peaking near 88°F and winter lows around 21°F. Three climbing areas, the Erasable Boulder Complex, Jug and the Candel Area, all lie about a tenth of a mile away. The Saddle Rock Trail is just 0.2 miles off for a hike.
