Long's Peak is Going to Happen!!

I decided today that despite shoulder pains and problems that I am going to go ahead and climb Long's Peak. My friend Levi and I are planning on climbing it during the dates of September 7th-9th. We are going to leave from Colorado Springs early on the 7th and try to get their and hike up with all our gear to where the technical climbing starts by that evening. The next day we are going to climb through "Lamb's Slide Coular" and up "Kiener's Route" (the red one on the map) to the top. This section of the mountain will involve some rock climbing and some steep hiking through a glacier field. We then will hopefully find the rappel anchors and rap back down to the base of the climbs where we will spend the night of the 8th. On September 9th we will hike back down with our packs and drive back home. I can't wait! I have been wanting to do this trip for awhile. In the fall another buddy of mine is talking about doing s0me climbing in the Tetons and Levi wants to climb "Crestone Needle". We shall see.
