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
Today's Hollow Deception is quite different than the original Hollow Deception, as the namesake "hollow" and sharp crimp finally broke for good in 2008. Instead of a face climb with a long reach/toss from the "hollow" hold, the problem now more or less is as an arete climb with long reaches. Begin from a crouching start on the left side of the overhanging face and ascend the left arete/face.
This problem used to have a ~V9 sit start beginning on the large flake down and to the left, but I'm not sure it's been done like that since the namesake hold broke. Let me know if you have info regarding this issue.

Location
Hollow Deception is located just off the footpath halfway between the Pink Fink Boulder and the Seurat Boulder. Two smallish boulders sit almost side-by-side here, the first being home to Hollow Deception and the second being home to Chocolate Croissant. Hollow Deception ascends the left side of the first boulder.
