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.

Location Route is located between the Iceberg Area and the White Wall. If you walk from the Iceberg Area to the White Wall it's the first route with bolted anchors
Protection Two bolted anchors on top. You need about 3-4 cams

| Due to the fact that there are bolted anchors the route must have a name. If anybody knows the name please post it. Get the cam is just the temporary name I chose. |

| Hey John! Havent done it myself, but pretty much everything at Bozoo is short enough that a single rack will more than suffice. |
