Another hot day in the Flatirons. Hiked up to Green Mountain Pinnacle with the idea of climbing Takin' Care of Business. The route appeared daunting from below and we climbed up Green Sneak to set up a toprope before attempting the lead. After climbing the chimney and wishing my technique was better, we decided that the toprope was good enough for today and headed over to Challenger. The climbing on Challenger was fun, smooth and runout. The upper pitch lead up to one of the higher Flatiron summits and the view stretched on and on. On the way down, we visited the elusive Cavernous Sinus (not telling where it is!) and climbed the last pitch of Yodeling Moves on the Hammerhead.
