I haven't been back to the second flatiron for awhile -- it's not my favorite scramble, but it is a good one. It makes for a good after work climb where you can get done before the sun sets. Here you can see some of my scrambling brethren.

Today I climbed the Dodge Block line on the Second Flatiron. It is a bit easier in my opinion than Freeway. You can actually make it as easy as you like by trending left. Here's a picture of the first pitch.

On this day I not only saw the scramblers in the first photo, but also some roped climbers on my route. I stayed left of them and actually climbed below the rock that requires a "flying leap".

By staying low and left, I found an enjoyable line that I hadn't explored before. I also climbed higher than normal. The final pitch just to the north of the pullman car has an easy escape. But it isn't visible as you ascend, so it takes a bit of faith unless you remember the ending.

Michael's Belay Glasses: http://belayglass.blogspot.com/ Don't crane your neck while belaying. Wear these glasses and look forward to gaze upward saving on neck strain. They allow the belayer to more fully concentrate their attention to the task at hand, especially on long, protracted sessions. They accomplish this at roughly a 1/4 of the cost of the other product on the market, putting this easier into the average climbers budget.
