$This is my impression of the Dumas Direct (5.8R), which uses some climber-left variants to the Direct. It is a fun route and climbs very well (though the pro on P1-3 is runout, it's a soft .8). The first pitch goes to the first bolt then cuts left and goes into an overhang with a crack. P2 is similar to Direct and goes to a bolt & crack for belay anchor. P3 goes up and left to thin & wild section to an overhang & belay stance for 2, small gear. Be aware the last time I climbed this the belay here is a flake that was fractured, a factor 2 fall could be bad!! However, the P4 climbing grade eases (It also gets a little steeper, but it's a jugfest) to join up the Direct at the false summit.<br> <br> Just a great & fun route!<br> <br> Original photo submitted to mp.com by: Michael Komarnitsky on Jan 1, 2001<br>$

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

The "FIRST" and a junk car?

Rapping off the summit.

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

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

Solo downclimbing off the summit.

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

My dad six pitches later.
