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 

This section of cliff is the right most section of the area with Simpsons wall. Left of Iceberg and Necro wall after they break down

Getting There 

Take the trail out of the parking area closest to the gravel road, cross the stream and stay straight at the first two forks (one will be ~150ft after the stream and the next about another 150ft). Follow the trail up hill and cross over some stream beds to the left at some point. The trail gets steep and goes straight up hill eventually. You come out right in front of a large chimney, this is Fat City. Bovine and Lime House are to the right, Simpsons wall is to the left.

You can also access the area from Iceberg or Necro one of three ways. From Iceberg walk left and pass Necro and cross a field of talus. You'll come up on a bolted line (Limehouse) and a hand and finger crack (Bovine Crack)

From the Iceberg Scramble to the top of the cliff through the corridor and walk climbers left along the edge of the field.

From Iceberg walk back down to the parking lot and take the right hand fork before the river. This will take you into the Simpsons wall trail.
