| The Keyhole is a CO classic. Great trail. Start early to avoid the crowds. It's long, but worth it. | |

| Cowtipper | Still Unforgettable! Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2011 | |
| My second, and probably last, trip to the summit. Weather was perfect, and I was able to spend some time at the top, which I couldn't last time. Altogether, the trip took 2-1/2 hours longer than it did in 2002. A very long, gruelling day, but what a payoff! | |

| Technical climb of the Keyhole Ridge to the summit of Longs. Down via standard route. Fun alpine ridge climb, beautiful weather, magnificent views from the ridge. | |

| blueshade | Longs Peak - Keyhole Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2011 | |
| Longs Peak via the Keyhole. Cruised up to the Keyhole in about 2.5, a little slower going after that avoiding a little snow and since it was my first 14er of the year. Mostly easy Class 3 above the Keyhole, will be easier once it dries out more. Car to car in a little over 8 hours, including an hour on top. Mellow, pretty boring hike below the Keyhole. | |

| rodeonexis | All to myself! Date Climbed: Jun 25, 2011 | |
| I was shooting for a 4am start, but finally got my act together and was on the trail by 5. The trail was quiet on my ascent: ran into a total of 6 hikers/climbers. After the keyhole, had everything to myself. Leading up to the Trough was real slick, and the Trough itself was frozen sunbaked snow at 8am. the climb wasn't bad, but the narrows were iced over and sketchy. By the time I made it to the homestretch, things had softened up. Aside from an ice crux at the bottom, it was straight forward. 5 hours up, 3.5 down. REMEMBER to bring ice Axe and crampons! | |

| renogurt | Kiener Craziness Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2011 | |
| Highlights: 5 am was to late to start. Broadway ledges were covered in wet snow and very sketchy. The crux cracks were wet and full of water ice and slush. Lightning was prevalent all around us. However, it cleared up around the summit. This route is superb if you can catch it in good conditions and even better weather. Cheers! 15 hours in bad conditions/weather. | |

| jrhos | Winter Ascent Date Climbed: Mar 27, 2011 | |
| Started at Glacier Gorge - camped at bottom of hill below Black Lake (too windy up higher). 6 of us in group - 2 made it to the top. Snowed all day with lots of wind on the ascent - could not see our footprints in the trough on the way back down. Very little snow on the narrows (just when we wanted to quit). Extreme wind on the summit meant no time for pictures, just had to get back down. Some wind/frostbite on my face as a result (battle scar). Lost a lot of weight that day - not always "fun" but definitely an epic climb. Would love to do the Keplinger route with someone some day. | |

| Had to turn around early on due to really windy conditions. a couple of guys in my group made it to the keyhole but windy conditions kept them from continuing as well | |
