Description Hike in as for the Diamond from the Long's Peak trail head. Lamb's slide is the obvious chute running along the base of the Lower east face. It is separated from the Flying Dutchman by the obvious Glacier rib (left in the photo). The route is 1000 feet of pure alpine fun... expect rock fall and very hard ice or snow. Wear a helmet! Lamb's slide is most often used to approach Keiners, Alexander's chimney or Broadway.To descend you may either rappel the route (not advised) or scramble over easy 3rd class terrain to the Loft. From the loft descend "the ramp" or try and find Clarke's arrow if you want to summit Long's.
Protection Rock gear and ice screws could be placed if desired

CONDITION REPORT | Lamb's Slide is in great shape right now (1/22). Climbed it on Tuesday and experienced great snow conditions and weather. There were moments of more powdery snow that would likely not arrest a fall, as well as some ice up higher, but there were always ways to move left or right and avoid it.
Kiener's was looking nice too, although I can't give specifics about the upper section as my partner and I took Clark's Arrow (or something similar to it) to the Homestretch. |

| Really weird looking photo. It looks like there is a strap or something across the front of the lens? |

| Climbed Lamb's slide on 12 October. We started the route around 0800. Kicked steps in solid snow until we got even with Broadway. When we were even with Broadway the snow became a crust about 2 inches deep over good solid ice. Unavoidable. The entire route to the right was also solid ice. Recommend Rope and screws for the upper section of Lamb's. Great fun though ice or no ice. |
