| noahs213 | Second Wonderful Flatiron  Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2009 | |
| What a wonderful route. I free-soloed it. At the start at the climb it seems easier to go the right of the first tree seen. I went straight up and hit some 5.4 spots. It's rated in many guide books differently. But the climbing never goes above 5.4. This is nothing to underestimate. It's full on commitment with a big drop below you. I also finished the route off by Class 5 scrambling to the very summit of the 2nd Flatiron. That was pretty nerving without any ropes. A great route tho! Enjoyed it so much. | |

| A great mellow climb! Free climbed with my rock jock hubby as lead. Not quite sure we were on the route until the upper 200-300 feet, but it's pretty easy to keep it to class 4 if you stay on the northern half of the rock. Really fun (not too hard not too easy) for me, Chad seemed like he could have run up and down it - esp when he put on his rock shoes for a bit. | |

| Climbed part of Freeway and got on to the face for 2 pitches. This was a great lead for a novice leader in a great setting. | |

| easier, enjoyable climbing in the flatirons! climbed the freeway with steve. started on the right side of the freeway and climbed some 5.0 on the way up and caught the freeway proper just below the jump. 8 short pitches in only 3 hours, and we had a blast. unfortunately, it was getting dark too quickly for an attempt of pullman car. next time! jamie | |

| I've soloed this one many times, including many variations across the 2nd's entire east face. The climbing becomes a bit more difficult if you find yourself directly beneath the south block or the pullman car. There are a few pitons in the rock in this area. | |

| I free-soloed this one. Wanted to summit Pullman's car so I climbed up the back of it. Think that's a 5.2. It's a bit sketchy climbing back down it though as it's exposed and looks like an overhang. You need to grab some jugs and lower yourself over a bulge and your feet will touch the ledge (keeping to the left a bit). it took me about 10 minutes to get up the nerve to do that. | |
