Description

Mother Wall has the tallest climbs at Indian Bluffs.

This wall spans around 75 meters from "Death Blox" on the left of the natural arch to "Doin' the Smurf" (on the small wall to the far right of the arch). It includes some dirty chimneys and potential trad climbs ascended by senders who came before. There are a few unnamed/sorted routes not documented here so beware of loose rocks and wear your brain bucket.

Getting There

If walking in from the lower parking lot it is on the left before Boulevard wall and across the creek. Look for the cool natural arch found to the left of mother wall.
