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.

Description
Although the first half of Ode to the Modern Man is not particularly striking, it climbs beautifully up holds that are quite small, requiring precise movements with perfectly coordinated body tension. Begin from an awkward stand start about 10 or 12 feet left of The Dali. Pull on and pimp small crimps up and right to a big move to a sloping shelf. At this point the serious difficulties are over and a delicate and interesting ~V9 sequence of moves guards the top. IMHO, the finish to OTTMM represents one of the best sequence of moves on the wall, if not the entire area, and that's saying a lot.
I wanted to give OTTMM four stars, but it has an awkward start, nonobvious starting holds and an initially innocuous line that lacks the purity and attraction of No More Greener Grasses. Then again, what do I know? Go ask the half-dozen or so superhumans that have done it to date to tell you how good it is.

Location
OTTMM is located left of center on the south face of The Dali Boulder, about 10 feet left of the start for The Dali and Super Gui.
