Inclusions
The First Flatiron rises directly above Boulder as one of the most recognizable formations in the range. It is also one of the best beginner summit objectives the Flatirons have to offer that feels like real climbing. The standard route follows long stretches of sandstone slab to a summit that delivers sweeping views over Boulder and out across the plains, all within a short approach from Chautauqua Park.
The climbing itself is friction dependent slab rather than technical face or crack climbing, making it a great choice for climbers newer to multi pitch terrain or those looking for a scenic, moderate objective rather than a highly technical one. The exposure builds gradually with the elevation, giving climbers a genuine taste of Flatirons style climbing without the commitment of some of the area's harder climbs.
With well rounded experience all over the Flatirons we are happy to show you the best climbing the First Flatiron has to offer.
