Climb Longs Peak via the Loft and the Clark's Arrow Route, with a bonus climb up Mount Meeker.

Scale the two highest peaks in RMNP with Lisa Foster and KT DeSantis as they climb the saddle between the majestic mountains and then ascend the gentle north gully on the 13,911 foot Mount Meeker. Afterward, they descend back to The Loft before traversing over to Longs Peak's south side for an exciting ascent of this fabled peak. Along the way, the pair encounters a duo from Missouri wandering around looking for the correct way to take the Clark's Arrow route. Foster and DeSantis guide the young men across the confusing terrain, and the four summit Longs Peak together after negotiating the late-June snowfields that make an ascent of this route more challenging than a true summer ascent, requiring crampons and an ice axe to negotiate safely.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK: The Complete Hiking Guide Viewers have been asking in the comments about what gear I use, especially which brand of hiking boots and microspikes I prefer.

It costs you nothing extra, but it helps me out a bunch and will let me continue making videos of my adventures.

I have several styles, but I often wear the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX boots and absolutely love them.

Over the years, I have developed a layering system that works well for me, and being tall, Rab jackets, for whatever reason, fit me the best. I also find their quality to be outstanding. The red jacket in my videos is the Rab Cirrus Flex Alpine jacket, and the green jacket is the Rab Xenair Alpine Light jacket, which matches my green Rode microphone well, don't you think? The blue jacket is the Outdoor Research Helium Rain Jacket which provides me with great rain protection, as well as wind protection. For most situations, these jackets, used on their own or in various combinations, have served me quite well in the ever-changing alpine conditions found in Rocky Mountain National Park.
