I had to make a second trip to the Third Flatiron, so I could lead the odd pitches of the East Face route. Earlier this summer, I did the even ones and was robbed of the true summit by an afternoon summer storm.
When Kris suggested an outing up the famed slab, I was all too excited. Woo-hoo! (more…)

We found a campsite in the Cove (#3 I believe!). It’s a really nice site, and has a hidden spot for one of the tents…so Emma & I had some privacy from the guys. It was her first time on a climbing and camping road trip. I was so excited I could share this first experience with her! (more…)
