Conrad Kain Painting Raffle April 24-July 11, 2009

Artist Pat Bavin (also a CKCS member) has created a lovely Kain-theme painting "Local Ascent, Conrad Kain" and donated it to the Society as a fundraiser. The 28" x 22" acrylic collage on canvas combines a portrait of Kain with three of the most technical peaks he made first ascents of: Farnham Tower and Bugaboo Spire in the Purcells and Mt Louis in the Rockies.
