| shanahan96 | one big notch in the belt  Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009 | |
| handled broadway bettered than expected except for the step-around move. i backed off it twice before figuring it out. the couloir itself was fantastic and i was hauling in order to keep up with dominic. fortunately, there were moments to look around and check out the beauty behind us. the 5th class rock above the notch was wet and quite challenging to climb. mountaineering boots aren't made for tech climbing. oh yeah, the north face descent(draped with snow) was unbelievable. overall, a day for the ages! a flat-out phenomenal climb! jamie | |

| SarahThompson | Great route! A fairly serious undertaking Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009 | |
| Planning for this climb came with a mix of excitement and fear. It ended up being a great experience. Broadway (the part I feared the most) wasn't so bad: the steparound crux was fine, it was the very short (crappy snow/ice/rock) downclimb right before it that was toughest for me with the current conditions (wet, not-so-supportive snow). Notch couloir crux was easy - not really any rock showing but a little ice. Did 5.3ish (but wet) rock finish from Notch to Longs summit. My 5th time up Longs via 5 different routes, more to come. | |

| Incredible route. Wet rock to the summit, so descended via Clark's Arrow to the Loft. | |

| Ialewis | Do the right finish | |
| I have climbed this route on a couple of occasions and highly recommend the rock finish up and right of the notch. Traverse right from the finish of the notch into the first big chimney and wander upward. Expect 2 pitches of ~5.7 rock. | |
