Longs, McHenry's, Copeland, Ogalalla (July-August)

Post by jeffmpls »

I'm looking to climb 3 13ers in RMNP that I haven't climbed, & back up Longs a few times if anyone would like to join me. I generally climb Long's solely on weekdays, but open to weekends for the 13ers if the weather allows. For Longs I'm good on the Keyhole or Loft routes, McHenry's - Glacier Gorge/Stone Man Pass, and Ogalalla/Copeland Wild Basin. I'd consider camping for Copeland/Ogalalla, but in the past, everything RMNP is a early AM start.

Full disclosure, I'm a 62 year old Boomer, although I still hike at a moderate pace -my Long's moving times the past two years were 9 & 1/2 to 10 & 1/2 hours, and last year I got up 22 13ers & 14ers.
