History: Not finding much on the origin of these peaks, but given that they're 3 peaks that resemble 3 pyramids next to one another, we'll assume that might be it.

This was touted by BTLG as a fun but strenuous hike up to the Tripyramids. While wooded they were pretty promenant in the area and supposedly there were a few looksouts near the top of the ridge. I made it to the trailhead well before BTLG and took in some scenic views along the Kanc before getting there. Such a fun drive! The Pine Brook trail is right along Rt 112, and was jsut about what i expected it to be given the topo maps i had scoped out prior to hitting the trail. The north slide was strenuous but manageable with frequent breaks to allow my muscles to recover a bit. After nearing the top of the slide there were some nice but limited views before the top's wooded peak swallowed you up. We had a tough time finding the summit of North peak but thats a normal experience as there tends to not be a cairn on some of these wilderness peaks. We passed the Sabbaday Brook Trail junction on our way to Middle Tripyramid; South Tripyramid isn't NH48 so we turned back as it got to be in the low 20's at the peak and Boomer was getting antsy. The descent wasn't all that problematic. I think BTLG and I both had a spill with some wet leaf covering rocks we stepped on. Not a bad trip, I welcomed my car's heated seats as I began driving home.
