"Second Long’s ascent. This time via Cables Route (North Face). Took about 13 hours and let me tell ya, I respect Sherpas even more than I already did after hauling a rope to the top of the mountain🤣🤣" — LGH-Dan • Jul 22, 2022
"We got to the Keyhole by sunrise. It rained very briefly, but that made it a little slippery on the way up. It was kind of foggy but half of it cleared by the time we got to the top, so we still got incredible views. The picture of the keyhole is from the way down." — matthewanderson • Jul 6, 2022
"We were trying to do Longs, but we ended up following footsteps that lead up Mount Lady Washington. The snow was so deep we just went with it. We didn't end up doing Longs because it looked like there might be an avalanche. " — matthewanderson • May 27, 2022
"I'd been staring at this beautiful majestic Mountain for 3 years and never thought I would have the courage or stamina to get to the top but after putting in the hard work I was able to do it and it was one of the most amazing days I've ever had on a mountain. I had amazing weather, amazing people to help me through the class 3, amazing views, and overall an amazing time that I will cherish forever! " — CheshireKatt13 • Aug 27, 2021
"Great hike! We opted for the more difficult shortcut up, and headed up Lady W shortly after the Chasm Lake intersection. Was definitely worth it, but on the way down we decided to cut down just below the Boulderfield. Ended up being around 11 miles with 4000’ gain, for Jenn’s first 13er! " — LGH-Dan • Sep 1, 2019
