"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Up Lambs Slide, down The LoftMay snow climbing with good company in spectacular scenery - it just doesn't get much better than this! Lots and lots of snow. Did a goofy direct exit (dammit, Kiefer!!!) out of Lambs Slide which made things somewhat more interesting. Love the Meeker summit. Not super fond of the cliffy initial descent from the loft - catch a toe point in all that snow and you're toast - but things mellow out soon enough once you round the dog leg.

Part of the Meeker/Longs tour.I reached Meeker climbing via the loft before heading toward Longs on a nice day. Great views of Longs and RMNP`s peaks. I descended via the keyhole.

The LoftHiked up the loft and glissaded back down. Pretty mellow route. Maybe a 3rd class move or two on the ledges but overall and nice, fun climb. I made Nathan Meeker proud!

DreamweaverFun, mellow climb. I was expecting it to be more difficult. We carried a rope and light rack, but they didn't come out of the pack. Very little ice and a lot of snow. Caught delayed descending the slabs and should have came down the loft.

Nice SidetripClimbed Meeker on the way down from Longs. Easy to the top, but endless scree and bolder hopping back down.
