Nodes in The Motherlode

Similar in character to Mt Kuringai, but a bit less popular

Fairly typical Sydney rock, about 5-10m high.

At Left side of wall. Mantle into cave and up....a boulder problem on bolts.

About 2m right of Project-Kev. Step onto wall on the left and traverse into bolt and up

Up orange over hang in middle of wall, into corner and up over steepish territory.

The main area of the Motherlode. Walls up to 15m high on solid rock, similar to Lost and Found Wall at Mt Kuringai.

Start beneath cave at left end of main wall, in front of the large casuarina. Easily up to cave, clip first two bolts from ledge, then up obvious line. Swings left to anchors at top

Start on block 5m right of Induction. Scramble easily on to block, then straight up.

Start on block, easily up to block, then reachy moves up through scoops to small roof. Heads slightly left to the anchors.

Start at right of large block, beneath obvious small L facing corner at break. Up to break (BR) then easily up corner to slab. Take care clipping 2nd bolt

Starts 3m right of 'Dwarvish Poetry'. Up through roof then straight up to anchors of 'Dwarvish Poetry'.

Start under the roof 2m right of 'The Steven Bradbury Strategy'. Up to roof, mantle the dinner plate, then up to crack and anchors

The token trad route. Follows the flared crack through the roof, then up to the anchors of 'Pyrites of the Caribbean', or continue all the way to the top near 'Dwarvish Poetry'. Reasonably well protected but watch for the piece at the lip being lifted out by the rope. Be aware that the flaring means you need much smaller gear than appearances would suggest.

Start at far right of the wall. Easily to the roof, up the left side of the arete to ledge, then balancy to anchors. Possibly a bit soft for 25.
