Piper introduced me to this great Flatiron linkup. It combines a lot of high quality scrambling and takes you to the top of five different formations, each scramble beginning not far from where the last one ended. One of these formations is the famous Royal Arch, which I can't believe I'd never climbed in the 17 years I've lived here! The approach is via the Mesa Trail, and the descent is via the Royal Arch Trail.
