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
Begin from a low start matched on the complex of holds under the bulge. Get the lip and some large but wrong-way facing features higher up and pull the bulge up onto the slab. Lots of tension and gravity threatens throughout. This is a challenging independent line, but the fun part is over quick before a somewhat chossy lichen-infested slab.
Location
Gateway is located left of center on the uptrail face of the boulder 6 feet left of Gateway Face.
