Add To-Do ·
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
Begin from a sit start shared with Champagne Right in the middle of the block on obvious sloping edges. Bump to higher sloping edges and continue STRAIGHT up the face, potentially via a long dynamic move to a good hold higher up. Although the opening move out of the sds is slightly awkward, the quality of the rock is absolutely perfect and the problem stays with you until the end.
NOTE: Although this problem and what I've called Champagne Right were never actually named by the early developers, the boulder was apparently coined the Champagne Block and I've given these problems the namesake moniker until further notice. If Ben, Jason, David, Jeremy, Cam or Jamie read this, feel free to chime in.

Location
This problem begins from a sit start in the center of the vertical downvalley-face of the boulder 20 yards uphill from the problem Seurat. Perfect salt-and-pepper granite, you can't miss it.
