| Good introduction to the Flatirons. Mellow route - a lot of fun. | |

| 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. | |

| Climbed in early February...caught a nice weather window. Only people on the route...one soloist on the North Ridge. Great fun route! | |

| 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 | |

| Solo'd and saw only one other party on a 60 degree Sunny Friday afternoon. The down climb from the rappel anchors was casual if the top gets crowded. | ||

| Great climb- especially for a relative novice to trad climbing like me. The crux was on the first pitch. Climbed with Bill Morris with Front Range Guides who I highly recommend. | |

| vanhorne | Great route Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2005 | |
| Great route done it many times. You can skip the 6th pitch and rap of some slings on the right side of the second headwall. You don't get to the top but you skip the horrible ridge traverse. Definitally not for the timid. If like to place a lot of gear this is not the route for you. The second pitch i put in 2 horrible pieces in 150 feet. | |

| can't remember the exact day I climbed this. Fun route. Perhaps better to free solo since you can't place much gear so you just essentially solo and drag up the rope. First pitch is the most difficult, rest is pretty easy. I followed the first pitch, but I climbed this again in March 2006 and led the first pitch. | |
