Longs Peak

First 14er and a tough one. Despite popular belief, the Trough is the most difficult. I was still feeling the adrenaline through the Boulderfield. The Trough seems to be endless. Unfortunantly, I developed a stomach bug on the way up, resulting in my consumption of Cliff bars being in vein. That made for very, very, tiring climbing. It was a beautiful day, and a very warm summit. Quite a personal accomplishment.
