Details
In 2011, the Ventura Family (owner of Miguel’s Pizza) purchased the land above the cliff line, and the RRGCC’s 2017 purchase of the land beneath the cliff line and the surrounding areas ensures that the Motherlode, Chocolate Factory, and southeastern end of Sore Heel are climber-owned. The Ventura's have formed the Motherlode LLC to cover the liability of the land.
Description
The sister route to
Oompa. Just as fun but steeper and more sequential.
Good jugs and positive holds get you up to the second bolt. Take time to read the holds above before heading through bolts 3 and 4. Bust through the sequential crux on cool holds to even cooler holds above and lower angle climbing to the anchor.
Location
The first route to the right of
Oompa.
Protection
6 bolts to a two bolt anchor with chains and lowering biners.
