Description

This short route provides an interesting ridge scramble.

The Southern end of the Gregory Flatironette literally touches the Amphitheater trail. To reach it, head up this trail past the amphitheater and the other ridges. Some 15 ft before the trail reaches the top of the hill you will see a small ridge to your right. This is it...

Head up the ridge past a couple of notches. The crux is the last headwall that leads to the pin point summit.

Descent - Downclimb the East face or down a notch to the West (shorter) head back to the trail.

A little bit too much lichen on the rock too get many stars, but the few mini-pinnacles on the ridge make for a nice adventure!
