The hoodoo-topped summit just above the Flatiron. Up Siphon Draw and its Class 3 cliff, then a short scramble through the hoodoos to the 5,024-foot top.

Peak 5024 is the summit just above the Flatiron on the Superstitions' western face, also called Ironview Peak. It starts the same way as the Flatiron, up Siphon Draw from Lost Dutchman State Park and over the 12-foot Class 3 cliff at the top of the draw. From there a short scramble through hoodoos, with some route-finding, reaches the 5,024-foot top. It isn't Superstition Peak 5057.
