For someone who hasn’t spent a ton of time around Longs Peak this route feels like an introductory course to what the mountain has to offer. This route has a great mix of terrain- from a trail superhighway packed with people to the more remote sides of the peak where route finding can mean the difference of class 2-3 and class 5 pretty fast.
No gpx file today, unsupported, went off of memory from earlier in the summer and tried to improve upon that day- the beauty of FKT’s like this. I had all five summits to myself thanks to the brutal wind.
I understand why people become enamored with Longs (+ the surrounding peaks) and end up dedicating large portions of their lives to exploring all it has to offer.
