Access Issue: Private Property 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.

Description

This classic RRG wall characterizes many of the best aspects of Red sport climbing. Long, steep and pumpy this featured wall is littered with crimps, pockets, pinches, and jugs. While the climbs may not follow stand out features they are all fun Red "jug hauls".

Right of the Madness Cave is this shorter and less steep (but still steep!) sector. Shady most of the day with evening sun in the fall.

Getting There

Take the right fork in the approach trail from the parking area to the Motherlode. The first wall you reach will be the Undertow below the route "Resurrection".
