Found this little bit of history on the lower part of the route. The aluminum hanger looks just as flimsy in real life as it does in the picture.
Tony Bubb starts up the steep section at the bottom of the East Face Left- this particular variation was much harder than 5.5, but I am not sure where it was supposed to go!<br> <br> Photo by John Saccardi, 2002.

Picture of the start of the route to get you going in the right place. Tough to spot the start of this route as you bushwhack to it.
Looking north from top of fifth pitch, the standard route in the foreground, First Flatiron in the background.

Showing the approach to the 5.7 roof.
Runout in the middle of the climb
Nothin' like a little rain/wind/thunder to spice up a free-solo!
Looking East from the top. Well worth the effort!
A shot of the back side of the Third Flatiron. This is where the rappel is.
From the top of the 3rd, did the east face left. Amazingly devoid of climbers for such a popular area. Sweet climbing!
TJ at the top, after a great fall climb.
