Longs Peak Keyhole Route

This album is a personal collection of my photos from my three attempts to climb Longs Peak (two successful). It is primarily for organizational purposes for my Trip Report Curing My Summit Fever . As with many people, Longs Peak is very special to me. It was the first mountain I ever seriously considered climbing.

For the aspiring first timer to Longs, all of these pictures are from The Keyhole Route and hopefully I included enough information to help in your research. (Any comments related to the exposure on this route are purely my own personal bias.) There is plenty of information available on Longs Peak, and the SP Mountain Page is a wonderful resource.

Private attach only please.

Kiefer ThomasNice work

Voted 10/10

Having been up Long's Peak 5 times via the Keyhole, attempted Keplinger's and The Trough once each and more times to Chasm Lake/Boulderfield than I can remember, you've got some great pictures of an equally great mountain in this album.
Some of these really make me miss the Estes Valley.
Nice work!!!!!

Thanks for the nice comments. Longs is a great mountain, and it's amazing how many people are inspired by it.

I'm planning on taking a year off from RMNP for this years July trip. Hoping to hit Mount of the Holy Cross (Halo Ridge) and Snowmass - splitting the trip up between Holy Cross Wilderness and Maroon Bells Wilderness. Any recommendations for a flatlander like myself are always welcome.

Happy Trails,
Mark
