Private Property - Access Sensitive MORE INFO >>>
The cliff band is on private property and has recently changed hands, which created some potential access issues. There are a number of "No Trespassing" signs on the land.
The owner of the property is alright with climbers being there. However, the "No Trespassing" signs will stay up, and are only there to "protect himself."
The landowner has also said that he is very pleased with what he's found out about the climbers and the etiquette of the area. He researched it online and found that we've always been very respectful of our privilege to climb there and that we value that privilege greatly.
With that being said, Bozoo is fair game for climbing. AS ALWAYS: BE RESPECTFUL OF THE PROPERTY AND THE AREA. NOT DOING SO COULD RESULT IN ITS PERMANENT CLOSURE.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Thin gear at bottom till you can sink a good TCU. I remember using a red Lowe Ball. Then good mid-sized cams through the middle of the thuggy route. Finish using the face just left of the fingercrack; while placing gear and using handholds in small fingercrack on right.
You can up the grade by using only the fingercrack and not touching the slabby face on left of shuts.
Originally graded 10+; last time I led the route it felt more like 11b. |
