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.

Description
Mirror Mask begins from a stand start with your right hand on the small dimple thing on the flat side of the boulder and your left hand on the big edge thing at the downvalley end of the cave. Smack slopers and heel/toe-hook your way out the underbelly of the cave's capstone to the upvalley end of the cave, where you exit above a boulder just below your butt. This problem sports lots of oppositional compression and sick footwork. Note that if you fall off the finishing moves, you probably tumble back down into the cave.
The rock is perfect on this problem, the line is obvious and the folks that have done it have been psyched on it. However, because this problem resides down in a talus cave, has DAB potential as you exit the cave and has an obvious sit start that EVERYONE coveted for years, I've given it only 3 stars.
Location
Mirror Mask and the sit down version, Big Worm, are located in an interesting and unique cave about 150 yards uphill and slightly upvalley from the Dali Boulder. When you reach the Dali Boulder, continue diagonalling up and right, attempting to skirt around the talus field to the west. When you reach an open area, look for a pile of blocks that has a 15 foot long cave down inside them. Another block caps the cave and the problem climbs the underbelly of this boulder starting on one end of the cave and exiting the other. Scramble down into the cave and behold! Both Mirror Mask and Big Worm are obvious if you find the cave and have any business trying them.
