Moment of Admiration
1st sight of our objective on Mount Raymond.
Mount Raymond
By day and Moon
If the mountain went a little farther we could be on the moon.
Summit approach
Chris Moore sets the track.
Chris proved to be a strong confident backcountry tour partner, best part, he breaks trail.
Working on the Chain
Technical skinning with exposure makes Raymond a nice little test of ability.
