Flatiron Classic Climbs

The Flatirons have numerous large formations but aren't generally very difficult making them a great option for beginner climbers who want a bigger adventure!

Choose between these classic climbs

First Flatiron (5.6)
One of the most well known features in the Boulder area this climbs the longest route on the tallest part of the formation. For climbers who have previous experience this is a good cruiser route with amazing views. For those with little to no experience it can be a full on adventure.

Third Flatiron (5.4)
Another well known feature in The Flatirons the easy east face is a classic beginner climb. With enjoyable rappels off the back and potential for a couple harder single pitch routes this can be a full day experience.

E. Ridge of The Maiden (5.10+)
Not all the climbs in The Flatirons are easy. After a calf burning hike to the base climbers are standing below an amazing 5.10 crack. After another pitch of easy climbing one more pitch of reachy 5.10 leads to easier climbing. At the end a fully free hanging rappel takes you past the West Overhang (5.11) for a preview of a future climb.
