In August of 2011, some friends and I attempted to hike Long's Peak - one of the more well-known fourteeners in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. The journey is grueling, and reportedly perilous. Would we make it? Watch the video to find out!

I blogged and posted some photos of the hike a couple months ago (jletookthis.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/longs-peak-my-first-fourteener/), but then I decided I'd put together a timelapse-style slideshow of the hike with all the photos I took. These photos were shot in raw, and were taken straight out of camera with no editing or cropping, and batch exported to jpeg.

Gear: Nikon D700, Nikon 20mm f/2.8, Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8

Song: Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
