OK, since my last one was answered in a matter of minutes, here is one that may be more difficult. What famous athlete has their initials carved in the rock at the top of the Third Flatiron? Ronnie

Ok, the sport is baseball. When you are on the top, face out toward Boulder. They are almost in the middle, just below the knees. They are getting faint, so look close. Story has it that they were about an inch deep when they were first carved.

I know. I'll just climb up there and check! Opps, that won't work. Maryland sucks.

I have a guess at what the initials are: "CU" If that's not it, how about Yvon Chouinard That's all I got now Matt

Man.. I've got a couple good guesses here but need one more tip. Did he (the athlete) carve his own initials or did someone else do it? Andy

It's probably Pete Rose, but he used different initials to win a bet, and he didn't want to get caught, and even if he had, he would deny, deny, deny!!!
