Flat Iron I

This is a hike of Flat Iron I in the Flat Irons in Boulder.

Once again Boulder delivers the goods!

In the last vid I think I've incorrectly identified the rock right over my head as Flat Iron I but once we climbed out and looked back up I was able to get a better perspective of the range. We were very close to the actual peak of FI1(and above 2 & 3)  but you would have to rock climb to get there....still, the rock over my head is still freaking cool! ;)

But before we got topside there was this surprise boulder field to discover. It is literally hidden around a corner and you have no idea it's there. It wasn't too bad really but it is a bit shocking when you first see it. There is also a small section where you need to do some hands on rocks scramble and there are actually plenty of places on this hike were you could fall far enough to get a bad boo boo.

And again the trail data was impossibly wrong. But if this was actually the 1.5 mile hike we thought it was going to be it would not have been nearly as much fun.
