"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Yale Avalanche GulchAvalanche Gulch Trailhead. We climbed Yale via the east ridge from the Colorado Trail. Then we headed south to Mascot Peak. We followed the E / SE ridge down to below treeline. We dropped off the north side of the ridge to follow the compass back to the Colorado Trail.

With Yale, twice4/16/06 - Out & back trip from summit of Mount Yale. Rotten spring snow at its worst. Comical postholing to our chests was very common. I can't believe we even pulled it off since it was such slow going.
2/15/09 - Back for a winter ascent of Yale, much better snow conditions this time! Started at Denny Creek TH, up & over Yale to "Mascot", then down Mascot's SE ridge (which was very unpleasant) to the Avalanche Gulch TH where we had left a vehicle.

Solo summitMascot Peak is a great bonus. Summited after summiting Yale. This was a real leg burner. I was the fifth person to sign the summit log in 2006. I wonder how many Yale has seen this year?
