Highlights
- North Trypyramid is a NH 4000-footer and one of 3 peaks that comprise Mount Trypyramid near Waterville, New Hampshire.
- The north face has a long, steep, prominent rock slide known as the North Slide.
- Often climbed in combination with Middle Tripyramid , another official 4000-footer on the AMC list.
- Usually climbed in a loop from north-to-south since climbing up the North Slide is easier than going down.

"An out and back on the Tripyramids. We were avoiding river crossings after the massive rain fall on Xmas day. So we went in from the Waterville Valley side via Scar Ridge Tr. I have never gone this way in the winter and it was a nice change of scenery. I needed both of these peaks for my Grid." — newenglandwarrior • Dec 28, 2020
"A fantastic day to do the loop of the three Tripyramids ascending via the North Slide and descending the South Slide. Great views including peaks we’ve done and the many on our to-do list for next trip(?). We got to witness two fighter jets playing in the sky most of the day and dropping marker flares. Ed finished his 2nd round of the 48 on the Middle peak, Tom reached #21 of the 48 and I got a peak(south Tri) on the Trailwrights list plus two more trails( North Slide and South Slide ) towards the Terrifying 25 patch.

"Solo. 16&17/48. Started out on the side of the Kanc around 0730. My car said it was 39°. The Pine Bend Brook Trail started out nicely, flat and unassuming, mostly dirt with some sections that are likely boggy when it’s wet out. Lots of small stream crossings, but it’s been very dry and I had no issue with stream crossing until the very last one of the day (of course).
After about 2 miles of hiking, the boulders started cropping up and after that it was a long haul up large boulder fields, I allowed another solo female hiker to pass me here. Following a sharp left at the top of the worst of it, the trail became a trail again, with some nice sections of soft dirt and flat land here and there. Another hard push and I was ... staring at some rocks. I figured this was the summit of North Tripyramid (4.68mi, 2888’ of gain, @ 2hrs31mins). The weather held at a nice mid 60’s temperature with hazy sunlight. I stopped to stretch my legs and then crab walked down the steeper rocky sections and continued on to Middle Tripyramid.
Not much to see here either, but a little something through the trees. (Now at 5.45mi, 3156’ of gain, @ 3hrs12mins). I sat around with some angry flies bu..." — kellieirene • Sep 15, 2020
"I did the 11 mile Livermore-tripyramid loop with my brother, dad, and cousins. With breathtaking views going up and down both slides made the climb was worth it, despite all the bugs and heat. " — Eloise200 • Jun 17, 2020

"Bluebird day and almost too hot to be comfortable. We tackled the Livermore-tripyramid loop. 11 miles with some dramatic sense up exposure on the ascent. The loop makes the viewless summits worth it. " — hiking4000 • Jun 17, 2020

"With the small amount of snow on the trails, it was particuliarly hard to ascend through the north slide and to descend by the south slide, as there was not enough snow or ice to cover the rocks and provide some grip. Still a great hike." — PL5 • Jan 13, 2020
"Second attempt at the Tripyramids. Had a nasty fall on the North slide three weeks ago. This time was successful. Took Livermore Road/Trail to Scaur Ridge to Pine Bend to Mt. Tripyramid Trail to North peak and over to Middle peak and back the same way. Beautiful blue bird day. Views are from Middle peak. Light bed of 1-2 inches of snow. Used microspikes but probably could have gotten by without them. " — dmcosker • Nov 9, 2019

"The second day of our fun weekend in the Whites. It was hot but the slide was dry so we were anxious to give it a go. Took the Livermore trail in and made our way to the base of the slide and enjoyed a fun climb up to North TP. Enjoyed the ridge hike through to South TP and then hiked/slid our way down the south slide. Another great day in the woods!" — deb-and-rob • Jun 22, 2019

"Hiked along with Middle Tripyramid. We decided on taking the Pine Bend Brook Tr as an out-and-back. Turned out to be a great plan as Sabbaday was closed for safety/maintenance, and everyone we know who had taken the Livermore Tr/Tripyramid loop had only talked about how taxing it had been and wished us luck. We had clear skies and mid seventies. It was a little muggy and buggy, but perfect on the breezy sections of trail. We saw some very healthy lady slippers growing along the lower two miles of trail (a pleasant and easy start and end to the hike), and multiple toads and butterflies. The views were limited but lovely, and worth the few scramble sections where trekking poles were of no use. About 3hr 40min up and over North to Middle, and 3hr down, with a lengthy lunch break at the summit." — gooner • Jun 22, 2018
"Hike with Kate P up Pine Bend Brook Tr. Her first time up. Encountered deep snow higher up. The signpost at the trail junction was nearly buried. Easier time then I was expecting to reach the summit on the final pitch." — newenglandwarrior • Apr 28, 2018
