Which route up Longs Peak is right for me?
It depends on your experience. The Cables Route is a shorter, less crowded line with a short section of easy rock climbing. The Keyhole Route is a long non-technical scramble. The Diamond is a serious big wall for experienced climbers.
How many days should I plan?
Many routes can be done in a single long day, but we often recommend camping overnight. It makes the pace more manageable and adds margin for weather.
Do I need permits or a timed entry reservation?
When you climb with our guides we handle timed entry and backcountry camping permits. You only need a National Parks pass or to pay the entrance fee.
How will the altitude affect me?
At over 14,000 feet you will feel colder, tire faster, and climb a bit weaker than usual. Spending a few days in Estes Park before your climb helps your body acclimate.
