Sunrise on the 2nd.

The route illuminated by headlamp. Climbers: Asa D., Kate S., and myself.

Diving Board Tayne.

An historic ascent.

General directions for Freeway. There's a lot of options with how wide it is. Generally though, just stay going straight up until you notice a rightward direction as there's a gully to the left. Keep following that until you find the leap of faith. Click 'View full size' for the image, to make seeing any of the text possible.

A great view.

Making the leap while drinking a beer. Freeway - best happy hour spot in Boulder.

Will working some new beta on "the jump".

Easy climbing + great position = good times.

Matt Ebbing - last 20 feet of Freeway - some tricky, slabby, friction stuff. Fun route.

Slightly steep.

All ya really need, very fun route.

Base of 2nd; looking up.

The jump section.

Looking up P2.

Taking a leap over Boulder.

About 20 feet below the jump, which blends into the photo in the middle. The route continues straight up to the end of the rock then left and up on two more slabs to the hiking trail.

The Jump from the South side.

Alternate double shoulder stand beta to the jump (sorry for the gratuitous butt shot).

Just another day on Freeway: jumping off the diving board with a conga line behind ya, and someone leading ahead of ya with two single ropes rigged as twins with none of their sparsely placed pro extended.

Mario and friends free solo climbing the 2nd Flatiron of Flagstaff Mountain "Freeway".

Below the jump on Freeway Ridge, looking north. Since you can't see this part of the rock from the bottom, I've included it as an indication of the rock up here. It does get smoother than this but still basically plentiful holds.

Looking back at the jump.

Trees of Love!

Leap of Faith.

A climber on Freeway Ridge about 100 feet below the jump. The rock where the climber is is less steep and has a bit more texture.

All smiles before getting serious on the Leap of Faith.

Fun route. Nice, easy climb.

Mom's first ever climb! -featuring Bec, Tay and my poor rope management skills.

Morning cruise up the second Flatiron.

Looking up P3.

"This looks sketchier than it actually is."

No religious affiliations needed for the Leap of Faith.

The jump from Dodge Block.

Here is the notch that you get to jump. Fun!

A classic view 2/3s of the way up.
