Sitting on top of the East ridge on the false summit of the 1st Flatiron just before the rappel.

At the base of the Direct Route. The tree at top of first pitch is visible.

As of today: the sketchy eye bolt has been replaced with a modern, 1/2" x 4.75", 5 piece, stainless bolt.

6 in the morning and a sweet day of climbing ahead of us

$This is my impression of the Dumas Direct (5.8R), which uses some climber-left variants to the Direct. It is a fun route and climbs very well (though the pro on P1-3 is runout, it's a soft .8). The first pitch goes to the first bolt then cuts left and goes into an overhang with a crack. P2 is similar to Direct and goes to a bolt & crack for belay anchor. P3 goes up and left to thin & wild section to an overhang & belay stance for 2, small gear. Be aware the last time I climbed this the belay here is a flake that was fractured, a factor 2 fall could be bad!! However, the P4 climbing grade eases (It also gets a little steeper, but it's a jugfest) to join up the Direct at the false summit. Just a great & fun route!
