Details
Access to Hillcrest Boulders is potentially at risk:
Due to the influx of climbers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the residents of the Hillcrest area have been suffering from substantial parking problems that, if left unchecked, may threaten access to the Vacaville Boulders.
Please utilize the alternative parking options listed under the “Location” sub section in the area description
Description
Sit start and pull your way up straddling the big arete on the Mother Boulder. Good crimps, edges and maybe even a heal scum bring you up this daunting route. Stay left out of the broken area that leads off right to easier ground and attack the top of the arete directly. A good three finger pocket rest can be found just before committing to the topout which is not as hard as it looks.
Alot of loose rock was cleaned from just below the top. Stay left on the true arete from this cleaned area for the original version or go right climbing through the cleaned area and exiting up big jugs at the top of Space Lord should you suddenly not feel up to it.
This is a highball route and the name is an indication of that. So watch out for that gigantic rock (earth) if you think you're going to fall from the top of this one.
Location
Just to the right of Mother Nature on the true arete of the Mother Boulder. Stay on the arete and don't exit to the right up easier holds near the top, or too far left creeping into the upper section of Mother Nature.
