If you have explored my site, you know that Longs Peak is one of my favorite climbs. In under two hours, I can be on the trail at 9400′ and reach the summit at 14,256′ in a few hours on a good day.
It has all types of routes from simple walkups to world-class technical trad climbing. And it offers the and worst in mountaineering weather all year-round thus making for excellent training for Denali, Aconcagua or serious Himalayan climbs.
Of all my pages on 14ers, I have more about Longs than any other since have climbed on it well over 60 times and summited it 16.
So when I saw this video of professional climber Steph Davis climbing the Diamond, it captured what I love most about Longs and climbing in general. I hope you enjoy her video as much as I did.
Climb On!
