| no partners | | | Did my first Reverse Flatiron on my birthday. After celebrating the night before, we started around 0800. Weather was a little chilly but sun felt good. Went off trail a couple times to explore a cave and some interesting rocks. The ascent was more straightforward than expected; the cairns were helpful to keep us on route. It was also really green with some wildflowers and a lot of great views. I should have taken more pictures. We stopped on Peak 5024 to check out the views, then headed down. We stopped at the plane crash site (first time) to pay our respects, which felt like the most precarious part of the day with all the slippery loose rocks. We then headed down the Siphon draw trail. As usual, going down was slower than going up. The last couple miles back to the trailhead were nice, pleasant, sunny, and warm. We encountered no people until the plane crash memorial, then probably 100 on the descent. Overall a great experience, much more picturesque than I expected. |
