Miss Lucy, if it makes you feel any better, I think I saw Amazon chick puking her guts out on top.

Hey Mongo, she's sounding hotter all the time, isn't she?

I love the way that you write, Miss Lucy! Thanks for sharing your trip report! I remember reading about your trepidation about Long's Peak before you left, and I'm so glad that you had a beautiful, memorable experience. Way to go!

Fantastic report! It's all about enjoying yourself, and you did that incredibly well! Go girl!

Well done Miss Lucy. Summit or not, you had a great hike.

Way to go Miss Lucy - sounds like you had a wonderful time. We were hoping to climb Longs Peak last Tuesday. We were doing an easy hike on Ouzel Falls & hubby twisted his ankle! He sprained it really bad Memorial Weekend loading up his motorcycle. I don't think it was strong enough yet & maybe it was a sign he wasn't ready for Longs! We were going to do that Tuesday! Oh well, he rested a couple days and we did Estes Cone & Lily Mountain. Don't worry Longs - we will be back in 2 years and try to tackle you again!!

Great story, Lucy!

Great trip report, Miss Lucy. I remember reading your post about how fearful you were of Longs. Kudos for giving it a shot and getting as far as you did. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. It's not always whether or not you get to where your going, rather the journey itself. It sounds like your journey was most excellent. I can't wait to see some of your pictures to go along with your solo hike. (Actually pics of the whole hike and hiking party in general.)

Miss Lucy took a quick look

Now, wha'd I tell ya? I'd insert one of those devil looking away smilies if I knew how to work that...
Yeah, it's hard not to take a look with all that beauty that is laid out in front of you in one short second. The normal gust of wind in the face helps a bit too.
Ya done good though making a day of it and Chasm View is a great place to view the climbers on the Diamond.
I hope you have a great time in The Gorge,

Lucy,
What a great report. Someday I hope we get to meet. I like your perspective on mountain climbing. I am glad you didn't get summit fever and miss out on such a great day.

Miss Lucy. . .please put me FIRST on the list of people who will buy several copies of any book you may write in the future!!! If you haven't thought about it. . .please do! You are amazing! That was the most entertaining, enjoyable read I have had in a VERY long time! Never mind that I'm packing my office up for home now because I refused to stop reading while my boss hovered over me anxious for my attention (just kidding. . .I still have a job. . . unfortunately )

And a hike "only" to the keyhole is nothing to apologize for or feel like anything less than a TOTAL success!

*sandy clicks away to go see if she can find more trip reports by Miss Lucy*

Great report Miss Lucy. I love reading your reports, you have a fantastic writing style.
I'm glad your day turned out to be a good one.
You should have stuck your foot out and gave amazon woman a little trip.
