Best Answer

Longs Peak killed more than a hundred climbers during the past century, three during 2010. The safest part of the year to ascend to the summit is July and August. Unfortunately, the limited window for ascent means that weekends are the worst time to climb because the trail can become very crowded with hikers.

At any other time of the year, ice and snow accumulate on portions of the trail. Ice and snow can increase dangers on mountain trails. In June, 2010, an eighteen-year-old hiker on the smooth west face of Little Bear Peak slid to his death. Falling rock is another danger, especially when other hikers are above you. During the summer of 2010, another hiker was killed by a falling rock on North Maroon Bell. Several years ago, a teacher from Colorado Springs was killed when his friend above him triggered an avalanche on Quandary Peak.
