"Beware: minor problems can turn into serious disasters when climbing teams split up, and especially on the way down. Stay together; help each other; finish the climb as a team. You will be glad you did from a friendship basis, and your safety level will be much greater. This is nothing worse when you are worn out than being left behind." Mike Donahue, The Longs Peak Experience and Trail Guide

"If there was a road to the top of Longs Peak and you simply stepped out of your car, would the summit be nearly as high?
Yes, unless they blasted off the top of the peak to build the road.
