I finally got to lead the even pitches of the East Face of the First Flatiron. I had led the odd pitches before, but not the even pitches. When Doug suggested climbing the route, I was oh-so-happy to oblige!
It was a nice fall day, with chilly temps in the shade and a crispness in the air. Winter was definitely around the corner and I was a bit sad to say goodbye to climbing season.
Doug leading the first pitch. He did awesome on this famously run-out section!
Sorting through my rack and ready to climb pitch 2!

The view of Boulder from the pitch 3. Gorgeous!
Doug Leading Pitch 5, he flew through the crux.
