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
Upcanyon from the world class Area A, Area B is a nice talus-field which hosts a few dozen nice boulders, the most noteworthy being Sunseeker. This zone holds a little more snow than Area A, making the season a little shorter. Still, this sector is a major attraction and more than worthwhile.
Getting There
There are a few ways to get to Area B, and it depends on what boulder you aim to try. For most climbs, follow a climbers trail leading under/beyond Seurat in the trees for a few minutes, until running into the classic Gorillas in the Mist (V10). For Sunseeker (especially early in the season), hike to Dali Wall, past Big Worm, and under the cliffs for 15-20m until running into the boulder.
