Longs Peak - East Face

Might this be the most famous alpine face of the whole Rockies? Certainly very few pieces of rock in North America can rival with the density of high quality climbing. Also remarkable is the variety of routes, from class 4 scrambles and 5.6 alpine outings to hardcore almost-never-in-condition WI6+ ice smears and 5.13c and 5.14a big walls (unsurprisingly, both with FFA from Tommy Caldwell). You can even find mossy A4 nail-ups if that's your thing.

Though the Diamond is the main show, the poster also features both lower and upper east walls and Chasm View Wall, as well as a little bit of the north face.

Updates

Sept 13, 2023: Minor graphical update.

May 17, 2025: Complete revamp, with updated colors and modern noise reduction on the base image, completely different color scheme for the lines, a few missing lines added to the north face (and Nassewand on the lower face), FA info amended to include first name initials and order following the guidebook rather than strictly alphabetical. Also redrew some lines, corrected typos and a few mistakes.
