Front Porch
|
East Face Center II, F3 The only thing I remember about this route was one pretty long runout and one very old 1/4" bolt that I clipped so that by brother would also see it.
Northeast Ridge I, F2 We also scrambled up this route without a rope and it is not uncommon to see hikers using this to get to the top. This is the descent for the other routes on this formation. I never got the nerve to climb the Back Porch. We were working up to it. Also, we were climbing with a single 11.5 mil 50 meter rope and limited to 75' rappels. Double 9's would be ideal for Flatiron climbing. Flatiron Classics indicates a 150' rappel which double 9's would be ideal.
