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.
Remember we are guests in this area. Be respectful of other users & the USFS Rangers that manage this area.

Access Issue: 2024 - road closure
Details
Mt. Blue Sky Rd. will be closed for the 2025 season. All crags will be accessible only via hiking. kdvr.com/news/local/mount-b….
Description
Start on a nice crimp at face level. The first move is up right to a smaller diagonal crimp, followed by a left hand move to a diagonal rail. Follow the problem up the lighter colored rock, and top out on a nice horn to the left! This is a classic highball, V2.
Location
If standing facing The Ladder (V2), follow the boulder around to the left. There is a small trail around the side, where you will pass a chalked up section of overhanging jugs. Around the corner, the problem is on your right (on the opposite side of the boulder from The Ladder).
