| NanitaD | Route Climbed: From the Boulderfield  Date Climbed: Jul 6, 1991 | |
| I went up the North Long's Peak Trail to meet a group that was traversing Meeker, Longs, Storm, and Half Mountain. Before the group arrived at the keyhole I climbed Mt. Lady Washington. After we met up at the Keyhole we climbed Storm Peak and bushwhacked down the north ridge of Half Mountain in the dark. We came out on the North Long's Peak trail just above the Galacier Knobs. I've been there twice since then...once at sunrise. Mt. Lady Washington has the best seat in the house for a dynamic view of the Diamond on Longs Peak. | |

| Joel Hopper | Route Climbed: Eastern Slopes Date Climbed: May 1998 | |
| This was an incidental summit on my way to the Boulderfield of Longs. Heavy snow and high winds were present for the climb and ultimately ended my crampon aided bid for Longs via the North Face (Cables) Route as well as teh Keyhole route. Deep late-season snow was present starting at the trailhead. Snowshoes were essential on the descent. | |

| Nice winter outing with SP'er Brad Snider. Partly sunny, ~31 deg F at TH and 20 deg F at summit. Trail from Longs Peak TH packed snow in trees and blown off up high. High winds (G60+) on summit, but much lighter on lee (east) slopes. | |

| Great hike with my friends Bear and Zhenia! So windy at the top that we had to crawl! | |

| Fun summit day with Joe Parvis. Very high winds on summit; had to lay down and reach out to touch summit so we wouldn't blow away! Awesome views of the Diamond and the Prow. | |

| A perfect winter day with lots of sun and minimal wind. I couldn't believe how calm the weather was on the way up. Out of all of my trips up longs and in that area in general, I have only had 2 days without interesting weather and yesterday was one of them. Climbed with chicagotransplant and some other people not on summitpost. Fun day! | |

| heather14 | Route Climbed: North East Face Date Climbed: November 13, 2005 | |
| It was an incredibly windy, snowy, blustery day! I don't think I stood completely up the whole way and or back down. I think I reached the top...it flattened out, so I'm assuming it was the top. You couldn't see more than 20yds around you. I'll have to do it again to see the views I hear about. | |

| This was my first my first 13er. It was a fun boulder hop to the summit and one of the most amazing views I've ever seen. The diamond is spectacular and we could see climbers on the face, about 1000 feet below the summit. Great views of the Keyhole & Meeker too. | |

| Climbed this after Longs as the weather held from the boulderfield. Incredible views of the Diamond. Descended the opposite side to the Chasm lake junction. This is a tedious boulder hop. | |

| growski | Route Climbed: From the Keyhole Date Climbed: June 24, 2005 | |
| Was intending to only go to the keyhole, but met up with two other hikers (Jeff and John) who were heading over to Lady Washington and joined up with them to climb to the peak. Great views all around. | |

| Rsk8r4lif | Route Climbed: i have no idea Date Climbed: june 22, 2005 | |
| I started out to climb longs peak, but i've never climbed a mountain before, my friend that was w/ me left at the juction and i took the wrong route, i ended up at chasm lake, and knew if i climbed over mt lady washington to the other side i'd get to the boulderfield, so i spent an hour or so clinging on over chasm lake with extremely strong winds, so much that i had to crawl across the summit so i wouldn't blow off, it was sorta fun. does anyone know what class climbing that is on the east side of chasm lake right up the side of lady washington? | ||

| umbra alta | Route Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: January 2005 | |
| Originally planning on a hike to Chasm Lake, I climbed this miserable heap of talus when my partner was sketched by steep snow on the approach to the Longs/Meeker cirque. The view of The Diamond from on top put me back in the right frame of mind though. Was blessed with absolute stillness on the summit; a trip report had people being blown off just days earlier. | |

| Stunning blue skies today as we summited in about 3 hrs 15 min. We were able to avoid all snow on the summit pitch with some judicious route-picking and some scrambling. Glad we didn't carry the snowshoes! | ||
