Description

This is the standard downclimb for any 2nd flatiron routes that lead to the summit. Although short and easy, its faily exposed and a fun solo route. Head up the wide crack with good holds on the left. At the top traverse left 'till you get to the little overhang blocking passage to the summit. Get your feet as high on the ledge as possible and reach up to good holds and on to the summit. The last moves have excellent exposure, similar to Yodeling Moves.
