Why So Many Hikers Die on Longs Peak (Keyhole Route Guide)

I hiked Longs Peak via the terrifying Keyhole Route famously known as the “Mountain of Death” and I got a firsthand look at why so many hikers don’t make it. In this video, I tackle sheer ledges, exposed scrambles, and extreme conditions while sharing real stories of climbers who tragically lost their lives here. From narrow paths to sudden storms, this hike is not for the faint of heart. Watch as I navigate the most dangerous sections of the Keyhole Route, give tips for surviving Longs Peak, and show what it really takes to summit Colorado’s deadliest 14er. If you love epic climbs, high-stakes adventure, and survival stories, this is a hike you won’t want to miss — even if just vicariously! Like if you’re into extreme hikes!
