I've created a handy movement guide for the Third. I think you'll all find it to be a useful pocket reference when you get to this spot. It's pretty intuitive, so I'll just let the image speak for itself (a picture's a thousand words!).

Unknown guy on The Third (no shoes!).

John reaches the summit on a moonlight ascent with the lights of Boulder behind.

Typical day on the rocks. Brittany knocks off another Flatiron. So many rocks, so little time left to bag them all.

Plaque on the peak.

Don Aumann making the final moves to the summit in October 2006. Tragically, he died suddenly of an undiagnosed condition 5 months later.

Swinging far left of the eyebolts to avoid the obscene crowds.

Just another day on the 3rd. How many climbers can you count?

Waiting our turn at the summit rap station.

On the last pitch.

George looking nonchalantly at the final section from Kiddy Kar ledge. First summiter (we think) of the season!

Climbers wait their turn before the crux bottleneck as guides prepare to fix ropes on the infamous "Flatiron Step."

Ryan's first and last climb ever.

Me on the Third, Oct '09.

First outdoor climb. It was amazing!

Peak of our first free solo! GOODTIMES.

Rappel Route:
<br>

<br>
1. From the summit to a large, flat area.
<br>
2. The flat area to a small shelf.
<br>
3. The final rappel spot to ground.
<br>
GO TO THE BOLTS 10 FEET TO THE LEFT OF LANDING AREA ON SMALL SHELF.

Big difference between left bolts and bolt by landing

Tommy and Danny at the last eyebolt, but 2nd to last belay. Taken from across the gully to the north on the direct finish.

Arin and Mark pause for a picture before the final pitch. Can you believe this is December?!! Photo: Mike Morley

Keeping the group free solo exciting.

Second rappel off the back of the Third Flatiron. The main page says 3 rappels, but only two are necessary if you traverse left/NW 10ft on an exposed ledge from the eyebolt at the bottom of the first rappel. There are 2 anchors with chains around the corner that allow for a single rope rappel to the ground. There is a sign at the eyebolt and it does not lie!

Bobby Wilson happy to be at the summit rap station.

SteveZ and Jay racking up for the Third Std route. A foggy, snowy, cold morning. October '09.

Zoom in to see the climbers at pretty much each of the eyebolts.

Joey T and friends relaxin' on a Sunday, near the summit.

First rappel into the south bowl.

Does it count as a mixed climb if you get this close to ice? The icicle on the left is about 6 feet high. If you climb the face under conditions like this, be wary of falling ice.
