Access Issue: Most of these boulders are within the Mt. Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans) Wilderness Area, regulated & patrolled by the US.
Details
Most boulders are located within the Mt. Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans) Wilderness Area, regulated & patrolled by the USFS. Climbers should be on their best behavior, practice Leave No Trace. Please abide by these requirements: it can take vegetation decades to recover from damage. Place crash pads judiciously, & keep brushing to a minimum. Before adding new lines, considered the damage that may be caused by additional foot traffic, pads, etc.
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.

Access Issue: 2024 - road closure
Details
Mt. Blue Sky Rd. will be closed for the 2025 season. All crags will be accessible only via hiking. kdvr.com/news/local/mount-b….
Description
Ten feet right of Prehistoric Bird, begin from a sds at the base of the northeast arete (this is the right arete of the face that faces down valley) and ascend decent holds up to a topout crux. The slopey armyman-crawl topout will have your full and undivided attention and - if you blow it - you could end up somewhere back in the willows.
Location
The Last Drag is located about 8 feet right of Prehistoric Bird on the Second Willow Boulder, or the boulder out in the willows just before you get to Area A proper. An inobvious, less than single-track path winds through the willows for 30-40 feet to reach the base of this boulder.
