Long’s Peak: On Top of the Summit

These are the photos I took while on the summit of Long's Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. All of the other photos I've posted before now were taken on the way up. In the photo of me the marker under my foot reads 14,255 feet above sea level.

I stayed on the summit for a while and had a short but deeply fulfilling meditation while there. It was a feeling of pure elation with every breath.

My ecstasy was tempered with a mild terror in knowing I would once again have to navigate the same cliffs and ledges I came up on...

John - That's a totally awesome climb. Who took the picture of you at the summit? Or is that what tripods are for?

I have never been that high of elevation - unless I was in an airplane:-)

I did some hiking at Long’s Peak way back in 1973 with two friends. We had just graduated from high school and need to get out of South Texas for the summer.
