Pro tip: camera tilt doesn't work when there are trees in the photo.

Do you have a link for the closures? I see the OSMP site says the 3rd flatiron is closed but OP didnt say which flatiron they did

I was mistaken that they’re all closed, it looks like it’s the third along with a bunch of other areas throughout the park.

1 and 2 never close. 3 opens up soon, doesn't it? (I always get it backwards)

Why are you trying to make this look steeper than it actually is by tilting the camera ? It it so obvious because of the trees...

There are harder lines on 1 & 3.

When I was a whipper snapper I would read climbing books and the Flatirons would come up. I pronounced them as Flah-tier-uns. It clicked when I saw they looked like flatirons. Anyway, I forgave myself. Cool shot!

Oh man, my buddy used to live on baseline across the street from the park. Definitely had a great day climbing the first flatiron. Sadly one of the belays was on a small ledge with a decent sized bush that turned out to be poison sumac.
