Every single route on the east face of Long's Peak. A full caption is in comments.

Route.
A ramp to the last tower. The description is a little misleading IMO. It reads "break left & head south on narrow ledges across the E. face of the tower. At a right-facing corner (possible fixed pin)." Don't go across the face on ledges, instead head up.
