The Flip Wilson Route goes up the arete just above Kerem's head on the left side of the south bowl.
Approach Beta:<br> <br> 1) Turn off main trail onto climber's trail on east side of main wash coming out of Courthouse Butte South Bowl. <br> 2) Follow trail scrambling up and traversing ledges into South Bowl. Keep an eye out for deep shady gully on left side of South Bowl below prominent cliff band. <br> 3) Make some 3rd-4th class moves to access the trail into this gully. Follow the shady gully past several short bolted routes on right side. <br> 4) At the top of the gully aim right for the SW arete of Courthouse, this is where the Flip Wilson route starts.
