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
Tomahawk is one of the most popular boulder problems in the Colorado alpine and rightfully so. Originally graded V12, this problem has settled very solidly at V10.
Begin sitting low on a jug crack (often wet) at the bottom of the tomahawk feature. Right off the bat, you are greeted with a technical and beta intensive crux. The second half of the boulder is classic compression climbing with several pumpy moves all the way to the very end. A tall finish keeps the desperate on their toes for sure!
Location
On the high side of the talus, it is located along a cliffband above 8=D about 75 yards. It’s also a few hundred yards off the trail, or a few hundred yards across the hill and a little below Powder Keg.
Per Adam bloc: it is easiest to hike along the cliff line until past Zoolander then drop down a short talus scramble in the pit.
