Raina-Peeking

To start a week of climbing with my tango and mountain buddy Felipe Martinez from Spain, on Saturday June 28 we climbed Raina and Peeking accessed via Ram Valley in Eagle River. I took my relatively new mountaineering boots, expecting snow, but we had virtually no snow, and I ended up with a hot heel which I taped in time, and a nasty blister on the side of the ball of my right big toe which I did NOT tape in time. I had to tape it every day for the next 7 days but thankfully it did not cause me much pain. Here's the write-up and photos, no need to duplicate the effort here:
