We'll see how I feel upon returning. I remember being pretty freaked out by the Narrows and Homestretch on Longs the first time I climbed it 2 1/2 years ago, but after getting most of the other 14ers under my belt, both felt like an absolute breeze this past summer. That said, Longs is solid, solid rock...

I love the hike to the lake, the logjam, everything was fun about it.
