Pilot Peak, Mountain summit in Park County, Wyoming, United States
Pilot Peak is a mountain summit in the Absaroka Range that rises to 11,699 feet (3,566 m) above sea level. The peak displays sheer rock faces composed of dark volcanic material, visible from considerable distances on clear days.
The first documented ascent occurred in 1932 when two mountaineers reached the summit and recorded their achievement on film. This event marked an important moment in the climbing history of this remote peak.
The peak forms part of the North Absaroka Wilderness, representing the commitment to preserving natural landscapes within the Shoshone National Forest system.
The best climbing window is between June and September when snow coverage is minimal. The route demands solid rock climbing skills and specialized equipment such as ropes and safety gear.
The rock composition includes ancient volcanic material that formed millions of years ago during underground geological processes. This aged mineral makeup makes the surface brittle and subject to constant weathering.
