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
This innocuous-looking problem sits like a Siren above the trail to the Dali, luring unsuspecting pad-people towards its large, chalk-caked holds. This looks like a good warmup
., why is there chalk on that hold? Famous last words before the extended bout commences.
Begin with a sit-down-start on the two lowest of three diagonal holds, above the right end of the short cave. Shuffle diagonally up and left to the obvious backwards-C-shaped jug. Hit the sloper out right, set your feet, and drive-by huck for the high hold, which is good if you hit it right. Kill the swing and top out easily.

Location
This boulder is located just past the Seurat Boulder, along the trail to the Dali. From the Timeline Area, follow the well worn trail SW along the edge of the meadow, to a large pink boulder with nice-looking lines on its North face. Head right, around this boulder. The Seurat Boulder is the next significant boulder past the the pink boulder, located in the trees, with a beautiful vertical crack (Seurat) in its east face. From Seurat, follow the trail to the Dali boulder for about 20 yds. This boulder sits about 10 feet above (SE) the trail on the left. The problem climbs the heavily-chalked pink quartzite SW face.
