Backporch, East Face 5.6

Rach and I abandoned the kiddos for 4 hours on this windy Sat AM to climb the steepest east face in the Flatirons. It's a really neat hike up to the formation from the Mallory Cave trail. The woods and rocks are cool. And the winds and lack of sun made for a cool morning of belaying the 2 and quarter pitches. Yet another exciting 100+ft, mostly free hanging rappel off of two solid bolts on the west side of the summit.
