It was the last summer possibly with his freinds. Raymond knew that after graduation, everyone would go their separate ways. He had gone through many changes in his life up until now. The divorce of his parents, his two older brothers leaving to start their own lives. Now alone with his mother who had now become his friend he was setting out to a climbing trip to the tallest mountain in the United States. Nothing he had ever done before this had ever compared to what he was about to experience. This is a story of a young boy now making the transition into manhood. Whether life wanted to wait or not. A story of going through changes, facing your fears and conquering them. All with the help of loved ones and good friends.
