Ernie Greenman's plaque at the summit. He joined the RMCC around 1913 and all but single handedly built the Royal Arch Trail.<br>

It is said he led his five year old daughter to this summit while "Ma" Greenman was visitin' kinfolk in Kansas.

3rd Flatiron shade at noon (left) and 12:30 PM (right) on Dec. 11, 2022. Note that the Standard East Face route is almost entirely in shade by noon this time of year and the descent to the north (looker's right) still has snow/ice from the Nov. 29 storm.
