On August 16, 2016 I woke early to ascend Longs Peak for my 4th and 5th times. I went up Kieners route to the summit, descended to the Ledges via the Keyhole route, and then climbed the NW Gully for my second summit of the day. Two amazing routes in great condition - barring Lamb's Slide couloir which was a pain to get around. The crux on the NW Gully route is often covered in verglass, but thanks to a hot morning I only found it wet.

Day hike/climb to Long's Peak in Colorado. My climbing partner (aka: GF) was attempting her first 14-er. Not a wise choice to pick this mountain, I know, but she did amazing! Thus, it's essentially her highlight film. This was my 5th 14-er and it was definitely the toughest.

One of the things that makes me happy is climbing mountains! Had a perfect summit day in November. However, as you can see from the video, this is not a mountain for those who are afraid of heights!

Had a fantastic "solo" climb up Long's Peak in November. Perfect weather and good conditions on the Keyhole route. Detailed views of the Narrows section.
