Description Suggest change

This is the rocky hill directly behind the Boortemus Boulder with routes located on several different formations - please see the individual route listings for more detailed information.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach as for the Boortemus Boulder but circle around to the back side of the clump to reach these routes. Please see the individual routes for more detailed approach information. 

Approaches to this area take roughly 15-20 minutes from the parking area.

Approach Hike (additional details)

Suggest change

As you make the turn left to go south into the canyon to get to the back side of the Boortemus Clump, stay sort of right and gain the top of a big dirt ridgeline that runs along the west side of the canyon. You can hike comfortably along the top of this ridge as it goes south, then curls to the east into the canyon behind the clump. This then drops you into the right spot to just continue east, where you'll see Stucco on your left. If you continue up into the notch, you'll then see the formation with Kat's Meow on it. Dropping just east of there, and down into a little open valley, you'll find Red Crystal and Slippery Slope on the south-facing slab to the left.
