The proposed route, The Yellow Door, is a two-pitch route located on the North face of Seal Rock that climbs across two natural features – a long arching roof on the first pitch, and a prominent dyke that splits the middle of the North face headwall and forms the second pitch. The first pitch starts […]
We are happy and grateful to report that Trango will sponsor the FCC once again during year two of the Season of Giving campaign. The FCC was one of several local climbing organizations chosen for this initiative. Each organization will receive 10% of purchases for a week in December. Our week starts on December 5th. A big thanks […]
The FCC had a successful and exciting year that included trail work, fixed hardware upgrades, stewardship and new routes that continue to help climbing thrive in the Flatirons. Dinosaur Rock Trail Work: In July 2016, the FCC and OSMP hosted a volunteer trail project at Dinosaur Rock and Der Zerkle in the Flatirons west of […]
Hell in a Bucket (5.11-); FA: Steve Annecone and Lisa Montgomery, 2016 Hell in a Bucket offers super fun movement, buckets, and nice position on a slightly overhanging face. The crux is bouldery and comes early on. The climbing remains interesting all the way to the anchors. Finish with a beautiful, expansive view of Boulder […]
Fat Elvis (5.9): FA, Mark Roth. With the routes Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll right here, it should be no surprise that Fat Elvis was lurking around the corner. The upper half also reminded me of Velvet Elvis, with a rising traverse above an overhang, only easier. Train for this one with a strict […]
The Gruffalo, 5.11a: FA Mark Roth. The Gruffalo starts just left of Skin Flute on the south side of Seal Rock. Start up a steep, huecoed wall, then follow bolts on a rising traverse to the right. Use an undercling to stand up on the rotten band. Clip the last bolt and hope you are […]
On September 17th, the Flatiron Climbing Council hosted a volunteer bolt replacement day in Skunk Canyon. FCC members teamed up with other volunteers from the Boulder Climbing Community (BCC) and the Action Committee for Eldorado (ACE), all armed with the latest technology in bolt removal. Every bolt in Skunk Canyon, with the exception of one route that hosts […]
I was born and raised in the foothills of California but have been calling Colorado home for the past 5 years. I began climbing in the gym and that quickly changed when a friend dragged me up Royal Arches in Yosemite. I’ve since traded Yosemite for Eldo and the Flatirons, but still make the pilgrimage yearly […]
