Longs Peak - Keyhole Route
Carly Kovacik and I summited Longs Peak during early/mid August. We made an attempt on the mountain last year, but encountered route finding difficulties during the pre-dawn hours and had to turn back. No such problems were encountered this time around. We successfully navigated the Boulder Field, Keyhole, Ledges, Trough, Narrows, and Homestretch...albeit we had to take a brief nap before the Boulder Field due to a relative lack of acclimatization given we just arrived from sea level. All-in-all a perfect day in the mountains with little wind, brilliant sunshine, dissipating wildfire smoke, and fairly mild temperatures.
