Crushed Flatiron this weekend with my good friend who I've been doing this challenge with. We left the parking lot about 8-830 and didn't get back till about 3-330?
We take our time and enjoy the journey. The mountain was busy!! Really cool though to talk to random people and joke about it all. When we got to Flatiron we did some exploring and decided to got all the way to the top.
This may have been a bad decision. We missed the trail to the top and ended up rock climbing through a bunch of cactus and other mean plants to get up. We relaxed for a while on top and got some good pictures.
Found the trail for the down side back to Siphon trail which was nice. They way down was kind of tricky. We were worn out and even though it was a dry it was still a bit slippery in places. By the time we got back to the truck we both just flopped down and sat there for a few. 10/10 would do it again.
This was out #6 of the challenge. We have plans to hit Quarts Peak, hopefully before April 1st just to close out the list. Excited for the summer leg!!!
