Pingora Peak, Granite summit in Wind River Range, Wyoming, US
Pingora Peak rises to 11,889 feet within the Cirque of the Towers, displaying solid granite walls that extend upward from Lonesome Lake.
The peak received its first documented climb in 1940 by Orrin Bonney, Frank Garnick, and Notsie Garnick, who established the initial route to the summit.
The name Pingora originates from Shoshoni language terminology, denoting a mountain formation characterized by steep, inaccessible rocky terrain.
Access requires a seven-mile hike from Big Sandy Recreation Area along Big Sandy Trail to Jackass Pass, followed by technical climbing equipment for ascent.
The Northeast Face route earned recognition in 'Fifty Classic Climbs of North America' and features eight distinct climbing pitches through granite terrain.
