This face looks fun but the rock is friable and it is scary if you're expecting a friendly continuation of the 3rd Flatiron. There is virtually no protection.
In general, the farther right you are on this face, the easier it is.
Location
For the standard route, start in the middle of the face and follow a ramp up and right, then back left to the summit.
We attempted a route on the far left side of this face. About 75 feet up is a belay stance with an ancient piton. There is very little to back the piton up.
Above the next 40 feet look tricky, but are probably only about 5.8. It's not clear if there will be any protection. Rather than risk a lead fall onto the piton, we retreated.
