Mountaineering – RMNP - Longs Peak

Standard route for Long's Peak up to Chasm Lake Junction where we'll head toward Chasm Lake and then up the Loft Route (class 3). From the Loft we'll ascend (class 3) northwest up the South Summit of Longs Peak (also known as the Beaver), locate the rappel station, and rappel 100 feet into the Notch. We'll continue west from the Notch to locate the start of Skyscraper (5.0). We'll rope up and climb 600 feet to the crest of the Southeast ridge. Turn north and follow the southeast ridge (class 4) another 500 feet to Longs Peak summit. We'll descend north via the Cables Route rappelling off the eye bolts to reach Chasm View where we will hop on the standard keyhole route at the Boulder field for the remaining descent.
