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
A nice long route with a variety of holds. First 3 bolts aren't that bad. A hard section from bolts 3 to 4 is definitely the crux and represents some of the hardest climbing on the Undertow. Once the crux is dispatched, enjoy pumpy 5.12 climbing with a few good rests including two decent kneebars. Clipping the anchor can be hard, look to the right of the chains.
Location
6th route on the Undertow wall.
Protection
10 bolts, anchors.
