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.

Description
The diminutive Eleventh Hour is short problem on a small boulder. Begin from a sit start on a very thin rail, matched on the rail with a thin heel-hook, make a move to attain a sloping arete. Reset the heel, get a thin crimp, then thrutch for a hold at the lip and pull over. Really short, but it's something to do.
Location
Eleventh Hour is located by itself on a downvalley-side of a small boulder 10 feet off the left side of the social trail as you approach Area A after you've made the willow crossing but about 40-50 yards before you get to the Bierstadt Corridor. If you emerge from the trees and can see the Bierstadt cluster of boulders, head back towards the willow crossing and look to your right.
