How to conquer a mountain

Once again Aryeh is being lazy and begging me to cover for him for some lame excuse. Anyway, there are a bunch of photos hanging up in the lobby of Belfer Hall at YU. One of which, with its caption, is:

"YU students conquer the mountain [Someplace] Germany"

I forgot where exactly in Germany this mountain is, but I can't help but think that conquering mountains involves slightly more than standing at the foot of it with some ski poles. I mean, if that was the case, even I could conquer Mt. Everest.
