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

An historic ascent.

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.

Base/start.

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

Allison Bell on her first multi-pitch climb.

A great view.

Catching some air on the infamous Freeway jump.

The JUMP.

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

First Wiener ascent ( FWA) assisted by his sherpa of course. so add an * to it

Will working some new beta on "the jump".

Showing my friend Joe the ropes.

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

Easy climbing + great position = good times.

Me and Aldous.

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

Slightly steep.

Base of 2nd; looking up.

The jump section.

All ya really need, very fun route.

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.

2nd sectors.

Looking up P2.

The Jump from the South side.

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.

Taking a leap over Boulder.

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

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

Brett belays Clove up the final pitch of Freeway.

Looking back at the jump.

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.

Dan the man logging some air time on Freeway.

Trees of Love!

All smiles before getting serious on the Leap of Faith.

Morning cruise up the second Flatiron.

No religious affiliations needed for the Leap of Faith.

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.

Midway up Freeway.

Fun route. Nice, easy climb.

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

Looking up P3.

"This looks sketchier than it actually is."

Leap of Faith.

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

Enjoying the rock freeway.
