View in Large format.

I hiked about 4 miles to this spot on the north face of Raleigh Peak. The bushwhack to the summit area is unpleasant due to snow, massive boulders and cactus-like bushes inbetween those snowy, massive boulders... Also, the actual summit is not a good place to shoot the Cathedral Spires area due to a couple of big trees that block the view. I downclimbed the snowy, boulder strewn north face and found an isolated platform like boulder to set up the tripod.
