Longs Peak, Mt. Meeker, and Pagoda Peak (foreground) from Chief's Head Peak. You can see virtually the entire Keyhole Route from the Keyhole to the summit of Longs Peak from here. The keyhole is the overhanging bit of the ridge near the left of the photo. The route traverses under the west face of longs to the Trough, the highest couloir the ends at the summit cliffs above the Keyboard of the Winds. The Keyboard is not very distinct from here; it is the ridge between Longs and Pagoda. The route then traverses under the summit cliffs (the Narrows section) until it reaches the Homestretch, the weekness in the south face.
