View into the Absarokas to the southeast from the top of Avalanche Peak, July 1995. Hoyt Peak is the prominent mountain in the foreground. The Yellowstone East Entrance Road passes through the valley below this.

Voted 9/10 | oh boy, I miss Hoyt. It really is a fun ridgeline. | | Posted Mar 22, 2006 4:36 pm |

Hasn't voted | Your comment about the Hoyt ridgeline captures my interest. What is the ridge like, in your estimate? Class 3, 4, or higher? I might try the peak next summer.

Voted 9/10 | 3+, maybe. i remember there were parts that were pretty shady, and thinking that we probably should have brought a rope. | | Posted Nov 14, 2006 2:02 am |

Voted 9/10 | there was a fun "challenge" that we put to our fellow scramblers when I lived in Yellowstone:
start at Eleanor Lake parking, tag the summit of Avalanche and follow the ridgeline as it curves back around to connect up to Hoyt, then boogie down the slope to cross the road and tag Grizzly peak and take up that ridge to Top Notch peak, then back drag yourself back to the car to drive back to the pub for a victory round.
on a whim, we named it the Quattro del Fuego. | | Posted Dec 14, 2006 3:12 am |

Hasn't voted | That sounds good. Maybe I'll try all or part of it next summer. I'm inclined to skip Avalanche since I've been up it before and it's often so crowded. | | Posted Dec 24, 2006 3:26 pm |
