Get ready for an epic adventure up Long's Peak via the famous Keyhole Route! On this hike you'll scramble through rocky sections, squeeze through the iconic Keyhole, tiptoe along the Narrows, and soak in stunning mountain views. We're talking about some serious fun mixed with a dash of challenge.

📌 Tell me about your upcoming or past Long's Peak experience..I'd love to hear about it!

Long's Peak is part of the front range of Colorado, which includes five other 14ers. Because of their close proximity to Denver they are very popular. I know all people bagging 14ers want to get these early, my advice would be go during the week and skip the weekends, if you can. If you don't enjoy being around hundreds of other people doing what you're attempting, find a different activity. There are a lot of challenging 13ers in the state that few people go to.

Last time I did it we got snowed on while on the summit. Definitely the sketchiest homestretch descent I've ever had

Many years ago a friend of mine climbed this mountain by himself and made it up to the keyhole before he got socked in with fog. He said he couldn't see more than ten or twenty feet in front of him, and that he basically had to crawl back down the mountain after becoming disoriented. This, after I told him to please always tell someone when he was going on a hike alone, which he didn't because he was 22 and an idiot. Anyway he lived, but he's still dumb. I think I'll remind him of that the next time I see him.

my ex-wife and i climbed long's peak back in 1997, but we backcountry camped like a mile from the trail, so it was much easier to get an early start. i think we started like 3am and summitted around 10am? lol, that boulder field on the way back was TOUGH AF. it seemed to take forever to get through walking on tired ankles and feet, plus i had a terrible headache from the altitude, and a nice sunburn. definitely the hardest hike i've ever done, but a great experience i'll never forget. 😫👍

This is on my list to climb next year. I'm going to start with Mt. Katahdin this fall as my first mountain and then do Long's Peak in the summer when I can (hopefully) avoid bad weather and slick rocks. Thanks so much for the video!

My father, brother and I are about to do the keyhole route and attempt the summit at the end of this month. I’m quite nervous but the excitement overpowers that feeling. We’re going to be taking it extremely slow. Hopefully the weather will hold for us!

Judging by the shots of 3 am, it looks like everyone is parking IN the road! I've never seen so many people on a mountain- no wonder it's the deadliest mountain in Colorado- it's a simple math equation. Didn't see another soul on Crestone Needle.

Awhile back I was obese. I couldn't even walk around the block. I lost over a hundred pounds through diet and exercise. It took me almost 2 years to get myself into shape in order to climb this mountain, but that was my goal. I live near Denver and this was my first fourteener. I had many other afterwards

So granted the weather is ok, it’s a fairly safe hike? I’m interested in going but the route after the keyhole seems scary

@ChadLubinski 2 ай бұрын

I think I replied to a similar comment to yours on another video but yeah it's a safe hike if you're used to a little exposure and scrambling and granted you go when conditions are good in the summer!

I've hiked Long's Peak twice, but I gotta say Capitol Peak in the Snow mass wilderness is much more dangerous.

Little Bear, Pyramid, and North Maroon aren't "walks in the park" either.

Its deadly because of its proximity to denver and the easy access to amateur hikers

How hard is the crowbar rock on the ledges to maneuver? That is the one part that scares me because I'm a bit afraid of heights;)

@ChadLubinski 5 ай бұрын

Hmm I'm not sure what specific rock that is. Do I go past it in the video? If so, could you point out the time in the video? Maybe I can give you an accurate assessment after that!

@Thenarrowpath833 5 ай бұрын

It's not in your video but its on the ledges where there is two small metal poles sticking out of the rock to help you pull yourself up. The rock is huge and very slick.@@ChadLubinski

Anyone who states it's "easy" is a troll and doing a disservice to SAR. They're constantly telling people its dangerous, risking their lives for recovery and then some douche comes along saying "Nah, they're wrong. It's easy " they're the fools who end up hurt, and who shouldn't be allowed on the mountain. I never see Natives downplaying Longs.
