1st Flatiron

This was Mikey's first outdoor climb, and at 10 pitches was quite an adventure for me as well, as I had never done it. We were passed by many soloists (one guy even passed us twice), as well as behind other roped parties. I was leading and Mike did awesome cleaning my gear considering I gave him his first lesson on "how pro works" at the base of the climb while we waited our turn to start. The horizon of this photo is maybe 1/3-1/4 of the climb. It is hard to judge as there are many false summits and it seems to go on forever. We summited in 40 mph sustained winds just before sunset.
