Flatiron Friday - the first flatiron in under an hour!

One of my favorite things to do after work on Friday is to go for a run up the First Flatiron in Boulder Colorado (aka Flatiron Friday).
In the video, you'll see what it's like to run up to and do a quick ascent of the First Flatiron, down climb it, and then run back to the base. It starts at the Gregory Canyon Trailhead.
You'll also see a rescue taking place on the first pitch and me talk with a climber up high who stayed with him for a couple hours.
The footage is a bit shaky (for obvious reasons - I have a GoPro on my head and I'm running). It also looks way steeper than it really is, so don't worry mom! I threw in some spooky sounds and some beats for your enjoyment, so put on some headphones as it's not very loud..
It's my first time editing or posting a youtube video for that matter, so be nice please : )
Hope you enjoy!

Yes! Thank you for including footage of the down climb. You are a rockstar.

Thanks for the beta on the first pitch.. Funny thing is that I saw myself in your video- that's me and my son (he's in the red hoodie) coming down after the climb while you are on your way up!! What are the odds of that awesomeness- I live in Missouri!

Very impressive! Climbing down that back side was literally the scariest moment of my life! It got extremely windy up there and without ropes, I was afraid I'd get blown off. Watching this brought back the feeling of terror I had 15 years ago!

Hey, wow this looks super fun. I've never been to the Flatirons but I'm looking it up on Mountain Project -- do you know the name of routes you took for the ascent and descent? I'm super curious. Thanks for sharing this awesome video, I hope that kid isn't still stuck on the ledge!

So, in the climbing community, is it generally not that strange for people to free solo this? Because a fall would mean certain death.

This climb is 5.6, which is about the boundary between scrambling and climbing for most experienced climbers. So, most climbers probably wouldn't solo it, but it's also not any particular feat to do so

The only one that most people solo is the second flatiron, most use ropes on this, however there are still a good amount of people who don’t

He trail ran up to the 1st flatiron… have you ever done that hike? I’ve seen tourists unable to even walk the entire thing. High altitude, with a TONE of elevation gain. I’ve soloed the 2nd flatiron and the parking lot to the top is a drastic elevation gain. So I take it that you just run, and climb up entire mountains at a resting breath rate? 🙄
