Ridge 1 via Stairway to Heaven (5.3)
Ridge 3 via Angel's Way (5.2)

November 6, 2010

Another beautiful fall day in Colorado, so Shaun and I headed up to climb two long ridge-routes.  By Flatiron standards, the approaches are very easy and we soon reached Ridge 1.  We belayed the first pitch on Stairway and then soloed 99% of the rest.  The steep descent between Ridge 1 and 2 was loose but quick.  Angel's Way is generally easier and we also soloed most of the ridge.  Ridge 3 hides behind the larger Satan's Slab and has a very remote wilderness feel to it.  Stairway to Heaven and Angels Way are both classic routes and provide more than a thousand feet of Flatiron rock.  Glad to be alive in Colorado!!!
