Pyroclastic Peak is the second highest of the five named volcanic peaks immediately south of Mount Cayley in British Columbia, Canada. It is steep and rotten and is located 120NaN0 southwest of Callaghan Lake and 240NaN0 west of Whistler. It is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 active volcanoes.
On the south ridge of Pyroclastic Peak is a feature known as The Vulcan's Thumb which remains unclimbed[1] because of the looseness of the rock.
