We did it again. We headed up the third flatiron for a sushi dinner on Monday night. It was a gorgeous evening - very clear.
With the crystal clear air and from our perch (at an elevation of 7,400 or 7,500 feet - sources vary) we could see a loooong way. We could see the skyscrapers in Denver. We could clearly see Long's Peak (Northern most 14er in Colorado) and it's distinctive flat top. The sky was decorated with pretty clouds. And we could see our house! Very exciting!
Why is it so fun to see one's own home from the sky? Universal thing it seems.
Again, we roped up for this climb. My feet did well but even so, I wonder if I'll solo it again. For right now, it seems a silly risk. And a 1,000' fall would be such an unpleasant event even if unlikely. Important stuff to consider.
Perhaps we'll make it a weekly hike/climb until the weather gets too cold. For now, enjoy the view!
