Yvonne Parsels
Bio: I am from Boise Idaho where I raised two amazing boys. I have been blessed with a grandchild.
In 2007 I got married moved to Henderson, and started another chapter of my life. I retired in
march 2020 when covid hit. I love the outdoors and I enjoy hiking, golf, and skiing.
Age: 59
Why did you joined: I enjoy hiking but had never even thought about scrambling. My girlfriend was always posting
amazing pictures of her adventures. I felt that I should give it a try - It’s awesome
I get to meet new people and be out in nature – loving it
Date Completed all 52 Peaks: Feb. 23, 2022
Toughest Peak: Holiday Peak
Favorite Hike: White Pinnacle and Mescalito
How did you feel once you became a 53er: I am so proud of myself. I feel like I achieved something that many
people only dream of doing. I have improved on my skills and have so much more confidence in my
abilities.
Advice for new hikers: start with the lower cards and always remember that momentum is your friend.
