• The bible of Flatirons hiking, scrambling, and moderate routes


• Routes range in difficulty from Class 1 to 5.8


• Compact


• B/w photos to help you sort out the bewildering array of formations


• Decent route descriptions, although I have noticed some of the trails may have been rerouted since it was written (e.g. approach to Stairway to Heaven)




Disadvantages
