The following five routes are located near the end of the Chasm Lake Trail. All but one of them are ice climbs. Approach: Chasm Lake Trail - This important trail begins from the junction below the east ridge of Mount Lady Washington, 3.5 miles from the Longs Peak Ranger Station along the East Longs Peak Trail. The trail leads into the Chasm Lake Cirque and provides access to the north face of Mount Meeker, the Loft, Ships Prow, Mills Glacier, Chasm View Wall, the Diamond, etc. The trail ends at Chasm Meadow, just below and east of Chasm Lake (0.7 miles from the junction). An avalanche destroyed the old patrol cabin, and a new stone structure has been erected 75 yards to the east. The cabin is used by the Park and is not open to the public.
