I'm getting nervous and would love to tag along with someone, especially if you've been before! I know mountaineering is a solo activity for many people and I promise I can be unobtrusive outside of the most technical parts!

I went up to the Keyhole and it was still icy in Trough and Homestreach, per multiple people. I am planning on coming back in few weeks.

I climbed Longs on June 27th. The Trough held snow for the upper 150 meters, and the Narrows/Home Stretch were snow free. I used mirco-spikes where snow was unavoidable in the Trough and felt comfortable with them verses crampons.
