From near the top of the Trough looking back.

The "trail" from the Keyhole onwards was nicely marked with blazes.

The last steep ascent is called the Homestretch. I was expecting it to be quick and easy, but at around 14,000 feet, it proved to be a slow climb.

View from the summit! In fact, the summit (N 40deg 15'17.8" W 105deg 36'53.9" el. 14225') is as big as a football field, which is good, considering the plethora of hikers populating the top.

More views from the top.

My camera malfunctioned on the summit, so there's nothing to see from the way down. The descent was slow, difficult, and basically uneventful.
