Welcome to Colorado
We met up with Patrick and Maryia in Boulder and Climbed the First Flatiron. The Route is 5.6R and a perfect climb after 30 hours of driving and a late start.
Patrick on the first 5.6R pitch.
Maryia and Krystina at the first pitch Belay
Joseph hadn't climbed since high school and only did a couple routes back then. It was awesome to climb with him. He cruised up the entire route. this is looking down the first pitch from the belay.
Joseph dropped his cigarettes and lighter from the first pitch. There was a party of Marines at the base and on the lighters third bounce it exploded. They told Joseph they felt like they were back in the war. By the way they all yelled I'de believe it.
Looking down from the 3rd pitch.

Patrick on the Summit.
Joseph on top after 1000ft of climbing. What a view. 360 degrees from the rockies on one side to denver and the plaines on the other.
Rapping off. 1,000ft of climbing and one rappel off the back side.

Hey! I've been there. :) Actually, I think we're close enough to share this - that's where Thomas, um, began. Ha!
