Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


The sweeping, serrated southwest ridge of Longs Peak presents a very dramatic skyline from the Black Lake Cirque. There are seven towers, all above 13,000 feet. The following routes ascend the north and west sides of the towers, which range in height from 250 to 700 feet. Approach: Hike the Glacier Gorge Trail to Black Lake, and then continue to the broad basin east of Spearhead. The first three towers are best reached by ascending the low talus rib just south of the lower section of the Trough. To reach the other four towers, hike to Green Lake, then scramble up the North Gully until it is obvious to traverse left to the desired objective. Descent: Scramble or rappel off the back (southeast) side of the towers, and return (more or less) whence you came.
