I made the trip up Lady Washington yesterday. I had a great time in nearly perfect weather and took lots of pics. You can read the trip report on my blog.

Favorite RMNP Hike: Over the Top

Whew!
I take it that this was up the trail from the Long's Peak Ranger Station -- did you put anything (chemicals) into the water you took from the brook? Or is it early enough that you don't worry about Giardia? Or are you immune?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Are those spikes uncomfortable on hard ground and rock? Yeah, as everyone is saying, do check in.

Great report, Big Al. I can't believe there are flowers that high up. Photos were terrific, too.

HPHI did go up the East Longs trail. For the water, I used my Steripen Adventurer Opti UV light. I never go without it, and rarely have to carry a lot of water because of it.

Not really. They feel a little weird at first but you get used to it very quickly. They are a great help on icy or wet rock, or icy snow slopes.
