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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Start on ledge right of WV Clambake. Climb finger crack/right facing flake up to the right side of large roof. An airy move will gain access to the flake/crack up and left. Take this to the top.

Location 

This route starts on ledge to the right of Clambake. It follows the S shaped line of the large sassafras tree that is directly behind the route.

Protection 

you have to climb above your gear at the crux, so place good gear where the initial crack ends.
