I'm heading to Chataqua this afternoon (Saturday) and want to climb the Third Flatiron. If anyone needs a partner, I would be glad to trad climb it, otherwise I will just solo it. Is there anyone already with a partner that would let me abseil from the top on your rope?
Yeah but I encountered like 40 kids from THE Ohio State University starting early as fuck, they kept knocking down rock and not saying anything so I aborted, still had fun scouted the route and bouldered at the base of the summit. Rappelling is definitely the way to finish. Down climb looks a little sketchy (scary as fuck haha, but I climbed up that route about 75% to the top and it was not so bad, very adventurous indeed.
