The route illuminated by headlamp. Climbers: Asa D., Kate S., and myself.

Sunrise on the 2nd.

Diving Board Tayne.

General directions for Freeway. There's a lot of options with how wide it is. Generally though, just stay going straight up until you notice a rightward direction as there's a gully to the left. Keep following that until you find the leap of faith. Click 'View full size' for the image, to make seeing any of the text possible.

An historic ascent.

Aidan, top of the second.

Base/start.

ML and Tristan (6 years old) on the 5th pitch.

Allison Bell on her first multi-pitch climb.

Making the leap while drinking a beer. Freeway - best happy hour spot in Boulder.

A great view.

Steff Carter on the Second Flatiron.

Catching some air on the infamous Freeway jump.

The JUMP.

Avery and Jason Antin on top of the Freeway route.

Dayna showing how much more intimidating you can make it look if you shoot it right (in order to terrify family members...).

Will working some new beta on "the jump".

A guy enjoying Freeway and my wife coming up Free for All.

Slightly steep.

Showing my friend Joe the ropes.

Easy climbing + great position = good times.

Matt Ebbing - last 20 feet of Freeway - some tricky, slabby, friction stuff. Fun route.

2nd sectors.

All ya really need, very fun route.

Base of 2nd; looking up.

The jump section.

Looking up P2.

About 20 feet below the jump, which blends into the photo in the middle. The route continues straight up to the end of the rock then left and up on two more slabs to the hiking trail.

The Jump from the South side.

Taking a leap over Boulder.

Below the jump on Freeway Ridge, looking north. Since you can't see this part of the rock from the bottom, I've included it as an indication of the rock up here. It does get smoother than this but still basically plentiful holds.

Just another day on Freeway: jumping off the diving board with a conga line behind ya, and someone leading ahead of ya with two single ropes rigged as twins with none of their sparsely placed pro extended.

Alternate double shoulder stand beta to the jump (sorry for the gratuitous butt shot).

Brett belays Clove up the final pitch of Freeway.

Trees of Love!

Dan the man logging some air time on Freeway.

Sin City Action Team solos Freeway.

Mario and friends free solo climbing the 2nd Flatiron of Flagstaff Mountain "Freeway".

Sectors E & F.

A climber on Freeway Ridge about 100 feet below the jump. The rock where the climber is is less steep and has a bit more texture.

Looking up P3.

Fun route. Nice, easy climb.

Looking back at the jump.

Leap of Faith.

The jump from Dodge Block.

All smiles before getting serious on the Leap of Faith.

Morning cruise up the second Flatiron.

Enjoying the rock freeway.

Midway up Freeway.

No religious affiliations needed for the Leap of Faith.

"This looks sketchier than it actually is."

Mom's first ever climb! -featuring Bec, Tay and my poor rope management skills.

Here is the notch that you get to jump. Fun!

Another blurry pic of the jump move. Rob high over Boulder.

Jump!<br>
