Looking up to Peyto Peak, our first objective for the day.

Mike on the slopes of Peyto Peak with Mt. Baker, which would be our second objective for the day, just poking up in the distance above his head and behind the peak in the foreground.
A rock with some cool-looking stuff on it.
I'm coming up behind Mike M. We're getting higher!
The skier's summit block looms above us.
Our skis sit, with Mt. Baker in the background, as we climb the Peyto summit block.
Taking a break on Peyto's ridge with Trapper Peak, which would become our object for day three, in the background.
Ken enjoying the beginning of the summit block climb.
Mid way up the summit block.
Me at the the skier's summit of Peyto, with Mt. Baker waiting for us in the upper left - can you believe we're going all the way down, then climbing back up it!?
Here's the leaning tower of choss that is the real high point of the peak.
Mike M. and Phil glad to be off the summit block.
Back down on the icefield, we glide over toward Mt. Baker.
Taking a break with the Peyto hut way across the icefield on the centre of the photo. My trip partners for the day were Phil, Wil, Mike M., Jamie, and Wayne.

Getting higher on Mt. Baker
After it became too steep to ski, I lead the rope up the slopes.
Mike M., and Wil, follow on my rope with the others coming up behind.
Really tired-out at Mt. Baker's summit! My second of the day after reaching Peyto's summit.

I lead us back down Baker's upper ridge.
