We had a good trip in warm but rather windy conditions. After a break by the south shore of Rawson lake we climbed the steep trail to the low point of the ridge continuing in a northerly direction towards the high point , a rockband precludes a direct approach but by dropping down along the cliff we found a nice break where it was feasible to scramble up. Another steep grunt and we reached the summit for lunch and relaxation. Rather than retrace our steps we opted to descend straight down to eventually pick up the trail a short distance before the lake.
