5.6/5.7 Alpine Traverses in Colorado?

Any suggestions for some long alpine traverses in Colorado? I'm looking for something similar to the Cirque of the Towers traverse. Something that can be roped up with minimal gear or soloed with a rap rope. Any suggestions for easy, medium, or long day(s) out are appreciated.

It would also be neat if some of these were above 14,000'

Megamidal (sp?) traverse is the bees knees. 4 or 5 13ers and you finish on Pyramid. Bonus points if you start and finish from the Crested Butte/Schofield Pass side!

Cap/Snowmass traverse is on my ticklist for this summer, anybody wanna get scared?

Similar to the idea of the Glacier Gorge traverse (but somewhat shorter), would be a skyline traverse across the Longs Peak Massif. Many ways to do this, but you can start/finish at the E. Longs Peak TH:

Start with hiking up to the Keyhole area, then pick what you'd like to do:

Cables (5.4)

Keyhole Ridge (5.6)

Northwest Couloir

(and others)

Descent Longs via many other variations:

Homestretch (class 3),

Stepladder

Kieners to Lambslide to Loft (snow) (5.4)

then traverse over with other options:

Gorrels (5.4)

Clarks Arrow (Class 3)

Then either descend via the Loft Couloir, or tag Meeker (both class 3)

Reverse works too.

Raps are done on Cables, but it's soloable too. You can pick and choose what you'd like, and bail depending on weather (which is a factor up high)

Ah, this reminds me of another idea I had but haven't yet done..

Start at Wild Basin, hike then navigate your way to the south side of Pagoda and climb Crescent Ridge (5.5). Traverse to Longs and climb the Southwest Ridge (5.5) to the summit. Downclimb Keyhole Ridge or Keiners and head to the Longs Peak lot where you stashed your bike to ride back to Wild Basin!
