Chalk is unsightly to non-climbers. Please avoid chalking up boulder problems that are visible from the Chicago Lakes Trail, & in general, keep chalk use to a minimum. Brush all tick marks off after every session. Use containers that prevent chalk spills & if you do spill, clean it up.
Stashing crash pads is forbidden by the USFS. Pads will be confiscated.
Noise: this is a Wilderness area that is enjoyed by many, mostly non-climbers. The last thing passing hikers want to hear are f-bombs, iPod speakers, grunting, etc. In fact, most other CLIMBERS don't want to hear any of these things either. The easiest way for us to lose access is to elicit complaints from other user groups.
Dogs must be leashed at all times, they scare wildlife. Obviously, clean up after your dog.
Remember we are guests in this area. Be respectful of other users & the USFS Rangers that manage this area.
Description
Lincoln Lake's boulders are clustered on the west side of the lake. It is a beautiful, alpine setting.
Getting There
From Denver: take I-70 West to Mt. Evans exit #240. Go south on CO 103 until you reach the Echo Lake Campground and CO Hwy 5 junction (approximately 13 miles). Mount Evans entrance is on the righthand side. There is a per car entrance fee of $10. Drive up until you see the long and narrow lake on the lefthand side of the road.
Parking is roadside pulloffs and very limited. There are a few pulloffs around the bend. Carpooling is best. Lincoln Lake is located 800 feet below Mt. Evans Scenic Byway on the lefthand side. The boulders are on the westside of the lake.
