On the false summit... what a poser!

Judy Nehls, on her 1st climb ever, on P5 of 7, visiting from WI. Just kinda a cool angle I've not noticed before....

Scrambling through the false summits, April 1st, 2019.

Pretty girls on a solo mission.

The shit show that is the E. Face Direct.

Rob, absolutely losing his mind on the epic ridge line traverse - so stellar!

Amanda seconding the ridge line June 2008. Note the long trail from the parking lot and the University of Colorado in the background. It was a perfect day.

The First Flatiron at night.

Party of 3.

Orrie approaching the first belay, summer '03. I posted this photo to show the position of the 1st and 2nd eyebolts, both of which have been present for many years (to clarify an argument on the climbingboulder mailing list). If you climb to the second bolt and fail to clip it, you will take a ground fall if you slip.

At the summit.

Last false summit with amazing views.

Myke Komarnitsky doing some extreme alpine ascent moves on the insanely wicked 50 degree face.

A classic shot from one of the upper (ridge) pitches of Kathleen...beautiful time of year (early October, 2006). Days of climbing and scenery like this remind me of what it is all about!

Going Superman-style from the summit. LOVE that rap!

On top at around 2:15 am . . . 5/31/12.

The "False Summit Pitch"

Adding yet another picture to this climb...Dave Pratt climbing the summit ridge.

Matt B. following on the Direct Route of the First Flatiron.

Janet belaying the 8th pitch on the ridge traverse of the First

Summit of First and Third.

Tim on our Xmas day excursion.

On the summit! My first lead (very short and only one piece of pro).

Party I met at the slot.

Strangers on the classic.

Russ belaying Allen up the second pitch.

Upper 1st.

Mike on false summit of Direct Route June, 2008.

John Holly on rappel!

Visiting climber Greg Opland demonstrates his mastry of the sport by soloing the Quartz Crystal Pitch with his eyes closed.

Climbers on the Big Ledge.

Belaying.

How us heathens entertain ourselves on Xmas.

Bryce getting ready to pull over the little roof we belayed under for shade. This little variation gave us 2 small but fun roofs to go over.

And looking south.

Ken almost to 1st belay at the tree.

Pitch five.

First pitch bolt locations.

Pitch three.

Kimberlys' first climb!

Rapping off the back with a storm coming in.

Pitch two -- I guess I didn't manage to find many gear placements. (Photo by James Burns.)

Looking up p2 from tree ledge.

The top of the third pitch. It's a beauty.

John Holly at the top of the 2nd pitch - probably a little higher than most people stop for the second pitch.

Racking up on the big belay ledge at the 4th pitch.

This was one the funnest rappel I've ever done.

Andy May on the summit of the 1st Flatiron. Great Climb!

Amanda chiling after a day on the 1st Flatiron. June 2008.

Joe Irwin takes in the scenic grandeur from the top of the first pitch of the First Flatiron.

Slab start on P1.

Bob's first trip up the First.

Starting pitch 6. The long hanging slot. This pitch had some of the best climbing and was quite well protected.

Full moon night on the First Flatiron. If only a camera could capture what we could see.

Looking NW.

The false summit.
