Few rock formations can boast the climbing history of the Third Flatiron. By some counts it's one of the most frequently climbed pieces of rock in North America. With over a century of Boulder climbers cutting their teeth on its exposed slabs. The standard East Face route follows a long stretch of low-angle but committing terrain straight up the formation's spine, delivering a summit experience that feels disproportionately big for how close it is to downtown.

With just a bit under a thousand feet of slab trusting your feet on the sandstone is the skill the route requires. The exposure builds steadily as you gain height, and the position near the top puts the entire sweep of city of Boulder on display in a way few climbs this accessible can match.

Having spent years on this formation we know exactly how to move efficiently across its open terrain and provide a rewarding climbing experience on a classic Front Range multi pitch climb.
