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.

| Jonathan Kingston FA'd the stand up version in 1997, I added a sit start in 1999 and called it Monkey's Paw. That obvious hold that looks recently broken, broke in like 1997. |

| I take it the SDS is harder than the V3/4 stand start? I will check this out next time over there. Also, I remember that hold being not broken in 2003/4 and the problem being about V2 as a Stand start... not sure if it we are talking about the same hold. |

| The stand start was a right facing blocky hold slightly above head height. photo you guys have is the way it was back in the late 90s
The SDS was maybe V5/6 started on crimps, high left foot, you rock up to shallow pocket with left hand pop to the broken hold in question with right hand, which where the stand start begins. |

| You are probably right, but the stand start hold is the one behind the leaves, so it is pretty obscured in this pic. It is a pretty long lock off from a slopey sidepull/gaston to the visible edge up above the leaves now. Used to be a good edge on a blockey thing in my memory. |
