I NEVER have my fill after just one summit and all the stone behind the main flatirons looks promising for extended outings. Have you pieced together something obscure and fun? The options must be endless so any and all ideas are good to hash out.

Maybe Angel's Way to something on the Fifth, Yodeling moves, and finish on the 3rd.

I also like linking up the main ones such as 3rd,2nd,1st (a.k.a. the Trifecta!) .. you can also tack on the Flatironette before/after doing the 2nd or the 1st. Those linkups aren't so obscure I guess, but I like em

What got me thinking was a recent push up the fifth. There's so much more stone back there to explore (if I only had the time to actually explore and not beg for beta). The obvious link ups aren't of too much interest to me. I can easy gather the beta for those individually and piece it together myself. Plus (& this is crucial), I only want to take of my craging booties for 5 or 10 minutes between climbs. None of this hiking all the way back down business where all the outa-townas are. Hopefully someone will share a gem or two!

Best. Climb. Ever. (although on only one formation.) East-Face Direct (left variation) to Yellow Brick Road to last pitches of Fandango. This one can be climbed with ropes too, but the second has to downclimb from the baker's way trough, or you can finish back on the east face direct. (avoiding much of the traffic on the first few pitches, a great way to pass folks)

flatironette to the spy to the ridge on the 1st, downclimb, then run down the climbers path to choose your own adventure up the 2nd, i like starting on the far left side and traversing right. or if your feeling really up for it, back up the 1st up the standard route.

Some of my favorites: The Fatironette + Fatiron + N. Face of Maiden is a great link-up. You could add the Matron on the way out too. If you were feeling energetic. Regency + Royal Arch + Fifth, then bushwack around the top of the 4th and in front of Schmoe's Nose and downclimb Challenger. Challenger is sweet and worth seeking out. Could also do Yodeling Moves to W. chimney of GM pinnacle, then up Challenger. Dinosaur Mtn. is a great place for shorter linkups of things like the Front Porch, Sunnyside I and II, E Face of Mallory Flatironnette, N & S side of Shark's fin. Easy to get lost back in there though.

after work sometimes we do... 2nd, flatironette onto the spy, onto the ridge of the 1st then finishing up with the sunset flatironette. parking in gregory canyon, up the front, then down the back for hiking. it makes a good loop type thing. (not hiking out what you hiked in...)
