The forecast is looking good for a climb (this is a class 3) up Long's Peak tomorrow. I am going to head up to the trail head campground later this morning with an anticipated start at 1:30am tomorrow morning. We have a full moon tonight, and I have my $4.99 LED headlamp from Harbor Freight.
This is a 14 mile round trip with 5000' of altitude gain. I am not the fastest person, so we are figuring a 14-17 hour trip.
Phoenix (a old hang gliding buddy) and I will meet up at the trail head campground and crap out in our cars till the jump off time.
I am going to try and do both pics and videos this time as some of the features are pretty spectacular, e.g. Keyhole, Narrows, Ledge, Homestretch, etc.
Stay tuned.
Pat
