Description:

The Loft is the big snowy saddle in between Longs Peak and Mt Meeker. The popular and easy Clarks Arrow route heads left on Class 3 benches below the loft to the saddle. In the winter, a nice pitch of WI3 ice climbs directly into the Loft itself.

The approach is a beast for one pith of climbing(6 miles and 4000 of gain), but this is a nice way to hike up Longs or Meeker in the winter and still do some climbing.
