Day 313 - The Flatirons

The backside of the 1st flatiron. The tip of the 2nd is visible and the 3rd is in the background to the right
Today I did my first ever multi-pitch free solo! I started climbing a 5.6 on the 1st flatiron and decided to bail after 20 feet. Given that I was alone, didn't have a phone and didn't know the downclimb beta, I figured it wasn't the best idea. I opted for climbing Freeway [5.0] on the 2nd flatiron instead. It was really fun! At 7500 feet I definitely felt the altitude the entire way up. Then I got to see Ariel and get a tour around downtown Boulder.
