Summer Ascent
Hiked up and down this from BCC in about four hours on another beautiful summer afternoon with J. Elected to take 'shortcuts' up and down the chutes. Not recommended, haha, stick to the trail, it's faster and WAY less sketchy. Encountered some mountaineering chipmunks at the summit.

Northeast Ridge from Butler Fork
And came down one of the east chutes (I agree with renogurt this isn't the shortcut I thought it'd be). Original plans were for a pleasant afternoon walk to Circle-All peak, but changed my mind after the first mile and did Raymond instead. With my afternoon start, I needed my headlamp on the way down. There was knee-deep snow in a few spots on the ridge, but snow cover was inconsistent. A young bull moose was standing almost on the trail in lower Butler Fork and wouldn't budge, and snorted and thrashed the branches with his antlers when I tried to shoo him, so I ran back up the trail and bushwhacked up and around him, nearly getting cliffed out in the dark.

Via Wildcat
This is the last part of Wildcat ridge and I was worked. Note tod self: the chutes that come down from just below the summit are NOT a shortcut to the trail.

08/24/2006 After meeting up with Matt on Gobblers Knob I couldn't resist climbing up Mount Raymond. I headed down Bowman Fork and over to Alexander Basin. I met up with a moose on the way down.
06/12/2007 Up Butler Fork with Matt early in the morning.
07/17/2008 Up from Mill B North with Matt.
Have ascended twice... once via Butler fork and the other via Mill B north fork. Mount Raymond is an awesome mountain to climb and I think it's way more fun than it's neighbor, Gobblers Knob. Did both ascents on weekdays and saw absolutely no other hikers the entire trips. A must do hike in the Wasatch.

It was so clear out you could see hundreds of miles in evey direction. It was a great mountain to practice basic mountaineering techniques!
