| Was in Boulder without a partner and so third classed this route and finished off with the N. Ridge. A great outing. | |

| Classic, fun climb. Stu and I hit it on a perfect summer day. Climbed with a 50 meter rope and as a result required about 10 pitches, way too many. Climb it with a 70 meter. | |

| seano | Fun solo Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2010 | |
| Did it twice today. The first pitch is friction-y, and can be a bit intimidating, but it eases up after that. | |

| Garon Coriz | 1st Climb of Road Trip 2010 Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2010 | |
| Went with friends Jonas and Matthias. Jonas led the first and second pitch well while I got us to the ridge. Jonas did another short pitch on top and I finished it off to the summit. The rappel down the backside was fun and exciting. N.B. the 5th pitch was done without placement of any pro showing how solid the rock can be for foot purchase. | |

| climbed this fine line w/seth. have been wanting to get on this route for awhile, but never saw it coming until a last minute change of plans. fun swapping leads in order to challenge some harder rock with the added comfort of the rope above you! jamie | |

| Easy for 5.6. The first pitch is really not that bad and easier from there on up. A good way to spend a day. | |

| This was my first Flat Iron climb and I though it was classic... I really enjoyed leading the 1st and 3rd pitch. not much for gear placement but I hear that's common in the flat irons... awsome open air rap and a nice walk down. | |

| McCannster | Free Solo Date Climbed: Oct 23, 2008 | |
| Free soloed from base to summit in about 30 mins. Really fun, I think I'm just gonna solo the rest of the Flatirons, really no need to bring a rope. The downclimb is exposed, but the holds are solid. | |

| SarahThompson | Great spring climb Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2007 | |
| Rock ratings still confuse me. I thought this climb was a piece of cake. However, I found the first pitch on the Matron's 5.6 north face to be tricky. | |

| astrobassman | My first trad climb | |
| This was a great first trad climb for me. The first pitch was the hardest...after that it eased up quite a bit. It was a great day. | |

| cushman | Nice Route Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2002 | |
| Best to either solo or simul-climb after the first pitch, stop at the ridge to collect gear then traverse like mad to get to the top. | |

| Great climb! Wickedely windy on the summit ridge though...made rapping a bit more interesting! | |

| mow10 | at least 8 times Date Climbed: Mar 7, 2007 | |
| Recent ascent was freesolo but I have been up it at least 8 times in the last 10 years. Best view from any flatiron. Notch hopping on the summit ridge gives it a little alpine flavor. | |

| Cookie Addict | with three buddies | |
| Were headed to Eldo for the day and got side tracked on this route. Climbed it in two groups of two and hauled ass. Got a bit of a sunburn. Easy day and we all really liked the route | |
