It's been a while since I posted. I have been having a blast here in Colorado, it's kind of sad that it's almost over with. The most recent adventure is I climbed Long's Peak yesterday morning! I didn't reallly get any sleep the night before, we left the trailhead at 2 in the morning. And let me tell you, we hiked so fast! We were passing people left and right, we would have been the first people on the summit but three really fast hikers passed us right before the summit. Therefore I was the 6th person to summit Long's that morning. We hiked the 7.1 miles and 1 mile ascent in 5 hours and 15 minutes, making it to the summit by 7:15 in the morning. We made incredible timing and had a lot of fun! We made it to the Keyhole to watch the sunrise, and at the summit we hung out there for an hour and a half. My legs are really sore right now but it was sooooooooooooooooooo worth it! Check out some pictures!
We made it to the Keyhole by sunrise!
The trough--the hardest part of the climb
The narrows--the steep drop-off wasn't that scary
The homestretch--my legs felt like jello at this point
The group at the summit
What a huge sense of accomplishment I felt
