Looking down on Storm Peak and the Boulder Field from the summit of Longs Peak. Rocky Mountain National Park. September 1998.

The view up the 'Homestretch' from the 'Narrows' on the Longs Peak Keyhole route. The Homestretch is a shallow couloir that leads directly from the Narrows to the summit. If you get to this point, the summit is in the bag unless the weather suddenly turns on you and don't forget the 6.9 mile hike back to the trailhead. Rocky Mountain National Park. September 1998.

Hikers negotiate the 'Narrows', a ledge system that connects the Trough to the Homestretch, on their way to and from the summit of Longs Peak via the classic Keyhole route. The Narrows, though quite dramatic for the exposure, can be easily traversed as long as it is free of snow and ice which can be present well into July. Rocky Mountain National Park. September 1998.
