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
Begin from a stand start on obvious holds on the rounded arete and ascend edges and slopers up and, IIRC, slightly right to the top.
NOTE: Although this problem was never named by the developers, I've named it after the neighboring slab problem around the corner. If Ben, Jason, David or Jeremy read this, feel free to chime in ...

Location
This line is located on the northwest corner of the Ladder Boulder, ascending a rounded prow 30 feet right and slightly around the corner from Last of the Ohitians. A small stream runs under the problem through a narrow trench. The ground and the flow of water are sensitive here, so be gentle.
