There is no established approach trail this way, but with some bushwhacking & scrambling. Can easily be done, taking roughly this route. :)

Here is a little overview of what you see of Babo from the west as you are approaching. The first pitch and the start are out of sight. Also, we didn't do it in 4 pitches, as opposed to 6 so that is why I didn't actually label pitches. Hope this helps
View of the Base of the Climb. Bushwhack up the wide gully to the start. Pitches 1 and 2 can be combined with a 60-meter rope, though the rope drag can be significant when you reach the "vertical wall" section at the top of P2.
