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

Rick Anderson climbing the start of the 5th pitch.

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!).

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

Brittany Whittern (age 8) working through the final moves to the summit on 2002.08.12.

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.

Plaque on the peak.

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.

GO TO THE BOLTS 10 FEET TO THE LEFT OF LANDING AREA ON SMALL SHELF.

Big difference between left bolts and bolt by landing

Unknown guy on The Third (no shoes!).

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.

Setting up the belay at the second eyebolt.

The crowded Third from The Fifth Flatiron.

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.

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

Mario near the summit.

On the last pitch.

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

Me on the Third, Oct '09.

Topping out.

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

Eileen Monyok arrives at the top of pitch 6, south of The Gash.

Left of The Gash.

Jo Drago.

Kristiana Fox climbing the East Face.

First outdoor climb. It was amazing!

Ryan's first and last climb ever.

Moon rising over Boulder from the east face of the Third Flatiron.

First rope solo.

View from The Third Flatiron.

Waiting our turn at the summit rap station.

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 "second" rappel station.

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

Coming up on the summit.

Heath leading the summit pitch.

Wendy on the first pitch, from the second bolt above the East Bench.

At the summit with Jake.

Keeping the group free solo exciting.

Randy soloing.

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

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

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.

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

Mario near the summit.

Scrambling up to the summit.

MC gashing it out, last pitch.

Todd Pett starts the route on December 10th, 2006.

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