Access Issue: Private Property - Access Sensitive - Flooded parking area/campground and it remains largely inaccessible at this time. Details

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.

Description

A series of jumbled blocks just upstream of a nice overhanging cliff band. A good variation of Slabs, roofs and cave problems. The Hermit Cave and Hermit Cave slab are not to be missed.

Getting There

Take the river trail out of the corner of the parking lot through the campsite, walk downstream for about 10 minutes. As the trail dies off and the fallen trees become impassible, hike away from th elow river bank up to the upper bank (about 30 ft up). Hike through the hemlocks between two large boulders (Air Jordy on Left and Mystery on Right) and trend diagonally up the hillside. Hike along the cliff band and this will be the first cluster or boulders you will find.
