The February 15th sun cresting the "Keyboard to the Winds" on the West Ridge of Longs

The West Ridge of Longs Peak which contains the rock towers known as the Keyboard to the Winds is, as the name implies, an often windswept (and musical?) section on this immense peak, the highest in Rocky Mountain National Park.  The 13,487' peak named Pagoda Mountain sits just to the west (right in this photo) of the Longs Peak west ridge.  Pagoda's north ridge is one of the best classic, long moderate (5.7) alpine routes in the park.
