Located 1 mile away from the slightly higher Hyndman Peak, Old Hyndman Peak is another leg of the Pioneer Triumvirate. The most popular route up the mountain is a class 3 scramble on the east ridge and east face, but there is also class 5 climbing available on the northwest ridge and the north face. The best time to visit the mountain is from June to September, and there are plenty of spots to camp at the trailhead and around the two lakes in Big Basin, which is located to the east of the nearby Cobb Peak.
