Somebody on the summit of the 3rd, as seen from the summit of the 1st.

Rick Anderson climbing the start of the 5th pitch.

#1 East Face, #2 is College Drop Out (aka East Face North Side (per [[Rob Bauer]]13658).

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!).

Rappel Route:

<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.

Big difference between left bolts and bolt by landing

Plaque on the peak.

Climbing through the clouds as seen from the Standard East Face on the Third Flatiron.

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

Unknown guy on The Third (no shoes!).

A topo for a possible/common route up. Many variations of lines and belays exist, but this is what we climbed and seems to represent a common approach.

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

Shade at noon (left) and 12:30 PM (right) on Dec. 11, '22. Note that the Standard East Face route is almost entirely in shade by noon this time of year (near solstice) & the descent to the north - looker's right- still has snow/ice from the Nov. 29 storm.

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

The third rappel to the ground.

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

On the last pitch.

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

Me on the Third, Oct '09.

Topping out.

First outdoor climb. It was amazing!

Ryan's first and last climb ever.

Waiting our turn at the summit rap station.

First rope solo.

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

Peak of our first free solo! GOODTIMES.

Probably about the same place as the "Brittiny" photo.

The 'False' rappel sign. The good rappel is just around the corner to your left from this sign.

From the start of the route on a snowy January day.

Climber beginning the 3rd Flatiron super rappel. 195 feet, mostly freehanging!

SteveZ and Jay at the 1st belay on a cold October day.

George about halfway up in his approach shoes. C4? We don't need no stinkin' C4! (I do though....)

At the summit with Jake.

Scrambling up to the summit.

Rippin about 600' off the deck just below the 4th belay (Bottom of the C).

Me on the 4th pitch (our 2nd pitch) on the Standard East Face.

On the top of the Third, Oct '09. Super fun, excepting the first pitch shivering uncontrollably in the ice and snow.

Mark Knutson rappelling off the backside of the third.

Eileen starts the final lead off of Kiddy Kar ledge.

Allen, Leigh, Russ, and some people I don't know on the last couple pitches of the Third Flatiron.
