"Went for a trail run and made some poor decisions. On a whim I decided to run up the Amphitheater Loop, and on a whim decided to follow a social trail up to the west side of what I *thought* was Fifth Pinnacle/Gregory Flatironette. Turns out, it was not, and I made a really ill-advised sketchy low-class-5 ascent in running shoes only to find I was not where I thought I was. Luckily the rock formation I had ascended was an easy walk-off on the other side, but if it hadn't been, there was no way I could have downclimbed. It was also already after sunset at that point, increasing the sketch factor. Well, live and learn I guess (luckily). After I re-oriented myself, I followed further social trails up to the *actual* Fifth Pinnacle, scrambled up for a quick summit, and descended back into town under a dusky full moon. I really should get some trail runners." — wazoheat • May 4, 2020

"Went for a trail run with some detours to scramble up various rocks along the way. Set out to hit three rocks, and managed to summit all three (though not without some difficulties due to darkness). First was crown rock: summited via a narrow chimney on the west side (low 5th class). Second was Fifth Pinnacle (summit of Gregory Flatironette): starting from an obvious social trail, scrambled up the southwest side of the rock between the summit and another pinnacle, traversed around to the east and then north side, then hit the summit via a big move on the north side; was all 3rd class scrambling except the big low-5th-class move up to the true summit. Finally hiked up to Saddle Rock: didn't require any bushwacking, was able to traverse mostly across rock and a faint social trail to the base of the rock, then summited with some 3rd class scrambling via the southwest side, though there looked to be a lot of doable variations. Lots of bird poop on top of Saddle Rock; I suspect it doesn't see many people, which is a shame because it's some of the best views of Boulder and the surrounding areas I've seen. By this time it was already after sunset so I couldn't stick around long. Returned ..." — wazoheat • Oct 16, 2019
