Mother Cap and Quarry

by remus

A scenic little collection of problems spread across Mother Cap Quarry, Mother Cap itself and Mother's Pet. Each sector has it's own character with the quarry having some technical walls, the cap some slopey and technical numbers and the pet some savage mantels. 23. Conan the Librarian is classic, as are 34. Mother's Pride and 35. Pet Cemetry (though some might disagree with the latter two). 46. Mother's Ruin is another quality mantel experience. Generally an exposed spot which can have be a fast drying options if there's some wind, or it can be brutally cold on a winter's day. You'll be needing those conditions to help with the top outs though!
