Rumors of a skull chipped in the rock way up Flatiron Canyon lured me in to trying this loop. The hike up Monument Canyon was routine passing the chimney, the mine and the T-6 Texan wreckage along the way. I dropped into Flatiron Canyon a few miles up and started the scramble down. A few dry falls had me wondering but they ended up being easy down climbs so no trouble. I looked for petroglyphs or the skull but didn't find either.
I also heard stories of catclaw in the canyon and I missed that as well. The boulder hopping was a good work out and I was glad to get down to the open desert again. It was interesting to see Christmas Cholla over and over again as I took an off trail roue back to the trail. There were no other hikers on or off trail all day.
