"Flew in Wednesday night from Vegas. Got about 1.5 hours of sleep sitting straight up in the car at the trailhead, then started the hike at 1am.

"3:15 AM start and made the approach to the East face by sunrise. Lots of falling rock particularly down the Lambs slide. An adventurous day topping out just before the storms rolled in. Made it down the upper part of the keyhole before the weather got serious." - Yosemike, Sep 8, 2013
