When Jeremy Cadwell moved to Colorado earlier this summer, he was looking to “find some new things.” Stranded on the side of the Second Flatiron earlier this week, watching a Boulder sunset, it’s safe to say Cadwell got that — and then some.

“I certainly found what I was looking for,” Cadwell said Wednesday. “I thought to myself, while holding onto that small sliver of rock I was pressed up against: ‘This may be one of the last sights I see in my life, but it sure is beautiful.'”

Cadwell, 36, of Lakewood, spent the night on the side of Boulder’s Second Flatiron after getting stuck Monday night. His overnight texts to a few local climbers he knew failed to summon any help, so he finally called 911 on Tuesday morning and was rescued without incident.

It was a long, sleepless night on a small rock ledge.

“I was too afraid that if I fell asleep I might move a little,” he said.

Cadwell said he’s scrambled the Flatirons twice since moving to Colorado from Ohio in July.

“I had a freaking blast,” Cadwell said.
