Flatirons Classics

1st Flatiron, Direct East Face

The longest climb in Boulder and one of the best. The climb (hardest at the start) goes directly up the center of the East Face to the summit ridge and then traverses the ridge (great exposure) to the summit. The route feels like a classic mountaineering route in a sub-alpine setting and has the best view in Boulder.

A 1,000 ft face climb, often called the best beginner route in the world. Even experienced climbers will not want to miss the enjoyable movement and the great views.
