Access Issue: Most of these boulders are within the Mt Evans Wilderness Area, regulated & patrolled by the US.
Details
Most boulders are located within the Mt. 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
The Alpenfrau tacks 8 feet of steep climbing with DAB potential onto the start for Think Mauve. Begin matched on a large shelf essentially on the other side of the roof and climb under the roof towards the start of the aforementioned problem. You will encounter some thin holds and a tough move or two before arriving at the start for Think Mauve. From there, go up to the lip and topout withSnow White.
I've been told this rig has cool moves, so if you like the steepness, go for it. I'm not a big fan of bouldering in tight spaces with DAB potential everywhere, so I've only given it one star.

Location
The Alpenfrau tacks some steep climbing onto the start for Think Mauve, which is located 7 feet left of Pink Fink. To get there, find a shelf on the other side of the cave below Think Mauve.
Protection
A couple Organic pads down in the cave might be nice for the steep climbing and for the finish of Think Mauve.
