From mid-May through October, the hillside below the left side of Boulder Slips is covered in poison ivy. It is difficult to avoid no matter how you approach the climbs. Better to climb somewhere else during this time. Routes on the center and right side of Boulder Slips are not affected.
From November to early May, the poison ivy is dormant, but watch out for the plants with little light-green berries -- these are poison ivy bushes. Avoid them and you should be OK to climb on the left side of Boulder Slips at those times.

Description
The first route with my new drill. Brand New Bosch climbs the corner to the right of Edges and Ledges and ends at the same ledge.
Start up the slab as for Edges and Ledges, and climb broken rock to the base of a right-facing corner 15' right of Edges and Ledges. Climb up the corner, and traverse right to a good ledge midway up. Stem up and work back left. Continue up and turn a small overhang at the top.
Location
On the left side of the Boulder Slips crag, at the base of a broken slab, about 100' above the road. Starts in the same place as "Edges and Ledges" and Minutia.
Another Great route by the bolters over here! The crux is definitely right at the first boulder jutting out. I think it's after the third bolt... can't remember. But have fun and be safe!

Found the crux to be moving back left and up from the big ledge. Other than that it is mostly 5.fun.
Really fun route, esp. if you finish out left on the face. Perhaps a couple of bolts too many (great gear placements out right), but all in all, a nice route.
