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.

Description SDS on the bulbous arete, grab the "flippers" one on each side and the moves to the ledge. Work up through gastons and slopers to stand on the ledge, or move to the left side of the triangle shaped ledge to a big jug and make a long move up to the point above, topout fairly easily from here.

| I heard this called pinball recently. Is fireball wrong? Or is this just known by multiple names like most the routes out here? |
