Long's Peak climb - Kiener's Route - Colorado 14er mountaineering

Guided climb of Long's Peak (14,259ft/4,346m) on June 15th 2024 via Kiener's Route. The route is typically rated 5.4/M2 but we did a harder variation than the usual route to keep things spicy. It took us just under 13 hours car-to-car. This was my third attempt at this route (previous attempts were scrubbed due to dangerous weather or avalanche conditions).

Our guide for the climb was Matt Raymond with San Juan Mountain Guides (https://mtnguide.net/) - huge thanks to Matt for leading the route and showing us a great time.
