Description

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

Access issues inherited from The Motherlode

May be located in Berowra Valley National Park, although it was developed before the area was gazetted as a National Park. Historically there was an annexure for the powerlines as well.

Approach

Park at Crosslands reserve then walk upstream for about 10 minutes to a rocky creek crossing under the powerlines. Cross this and immediately head up the hill for 100m or so to the left end of the wall.

Descent notes

Lower off, or easily scramble down at north end of the crag.

Grade Route

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

FA: D. Hughes, 2011

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

FA: D. Hughes, 2012

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

FA: D. Hughes, 2011

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

FA: D. Hughes, 2011

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

FA: D. Hughes, 2011

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

FA: D. Hughes, 2011

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.

FA: D. Hughes, 2012

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.

FA: D. Hughes, 2011
