| spannring29 | Meeker Ridge route  Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2007 | |
| Long, but fun day above treeline from the Horse Creek TH. Crossing from Meeker Ridge to the Mt. Meeker summit was a lot of fun. | |

| argothor | Loft Route with Longs attempt Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2007 | |
| Climbed Meeker via the Loft route and then headed across the Loft and tried unsuccessfully to find Clarks Arrow. Got to the base of the Homestretch, but headed down via the Keyhole route to inclement weather. | |

| Joe_Parvis | Meeker via Loft Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2007 | |
| Snow had begun to collect in Loft, and ice was melting down the gully. Some snow and ice on the ledges just beneath the Loft, but these could be navigated or avoided (though I was very cautious doing so). Went in afternoon because forecast indicated high winds in morning. Left TH at 1pm and reached Meeker summit at 4:15. Winds were light with clear skies. Also made the traverse east to the eastern "summit". Not as bad as I'd imagined, but of course rock was dry and winds low. Descended and went off the back of the Loft for the Longs route. Reached top of Longs at 6:20pm. Thank you weather service for alerting me to the weather window! I had been chased down from the end of the Narrows the previous weekend, and it was nice to return in optimal conditions. | |

| shknbke | The Loft 4th class variation Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
| I made this route a little harder than it should missing the cairn to the broad ledge to the left, but when dry you can still weave your way up through the cliff bands on grassy ledges. I wouldn't want to downclimb this or be on it when icy! Headed over to false summit Meeker Ridge, which is an excellent warmup for Capitol! Added SE Longs on the way over to Longs and descended Keyhole. Excellent loop with loads of scrambling! | |

| ktiffany22 | Loft route- Meeker to Longs Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
| What a beautiful and interesting route! Gets you away from the usual Longs Peak crowd. Fun and "adventurous" climbing up the loft (stay on route to keep it at class 3... we made a few class 4 moves- oops)! Large boulder REACH for Meeker's summit (at 5'9'' you'd think I'm tall enough for these things... could use a couple of inches!). Headed down Keplinger's coulier, up Longs (repeat summit), and down the Keyhole route. Great fun! | |

| shanahan96 | different faces from two seasons Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2007 | |
| 1/29/11- long talus slog via the iron gates. terrain between the two summits was tricky, yet very rewarding once i figured out the answer. front range winter centennial finisher! 8/25/07- climbed the loft with jamie and her uncle chris. the wind was rocking higher on the mountain and was completely unbearable on the loft, so we changed our plan from longs to meeker. interesting little summit ridge! jamie | |

| Timothy Pearl | What a dream. Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2007 | |
| Fun climb on Dreamweaver with Jon N, Chris H, and John F. Great conditions, a little less snow than 2 wks ago, but longer ice, and nicer approach. 4-way free solo was exciting. Nice work guys! | |

| lindasyh | Instead of Longs Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2000 | |
| During an attempt at Longs using the Loft Route, we turned back and did the Meeker summit instead. We had all previously climbed Longs via the standard route so we weren't too disappointed. | |
