Peak Id

[KathyW]

Aren't Harvard and Yale over next to Cornell? At least that's what one of the Rangers up there told me.

Unofficial names, I assume, because they're just little bumps.

I had another peak I had a name question about. There is peak just SW (I think) of Cornell Peak that is pretty pointy and has a fair amount of prominence. Does anyone have info on this peak? Like a name for it and then route beta?

I think you mean SE not SW. If so, check out this map of the Cornell Pk area.
A = "the hump"
B = Cornell
C = Harvard
D = Yale

I don't have any beta/411 on Yale, but I don't think it would be terribly difficult from what I've seen up there.

Cornell to me is a far more interesting peak. Here's some route info for Cornell Peak. The guide says it is Class 2, but the actual summit is Class 3/4. The class 3 approach comes in from the east. It's pretty scary steep whey you get on the N side of Cornell. Hope you're not afraid of heights. Here's a fairly recent TR of mine that has some fairly detailed info on Cornell Pk: Cornell Pk (9750), Jean Pk (10670), & Marion Mtn (10320)

Thanks for the info. I also stumbled upon this Trip Report by Bob Burd -http://www.snwburd.com/bob/trip_reports/cornell_1.html. When I do Cornell, I will probably hit up Yale. Sounds like an interesting peak (also, its fairly prominent)

Alright, I couldn't resist the unnamed pinnacles. So me and a friend climbed Yale, Harvard and Cornell. Yale was quite easy, but I would imagine it would be harder without snow. Harvard had a great little summit block. Both are class three climbs and very doable. I'll post a trip report when possible
