The white face right of Motorcycle Mama. Relatively easy face climbing but on sandy white rock with no pro near the crux, which adds to the spicy head factor.  

  I soloed it and would not advise leading it unless you are comfortable soloing 5.7; in which case then just solo it.

Motorcycle Mama is the giant left-facing corner on the left side of the crag. 90'. beautiful, unlikely left facing corner. follow the corner using jams, liebacks, and face climbing. very imaginative despite the grade.  5 stars!  

  Joanne O'Brien is my mom and she drives a Harley Davidson, happy mother's day mom!

Dream girl starts to the right on a nice platform below a mini-right facing corner for a few body lengths.  Jam/ lieback up to the roof, traverse left under the roof(crux) and gain the perfect vertical hand crack that continues to the top of the cliff.

Climb the face, avoiding the corner to the right and the crack system to the far left.  Midway up things get thin.

the broken corner in between motorcycle mama and dream girl.  info still to come, need to repeat it for more info.

Follow shallow cracks up the slab to the right end of the roof, step up over, and contine up to a big right-facing corner that leads to the top. Watch for loose rock, including a flake near the top that should be trundled soon.

 Walk left to the common rap anchor, or scramble down a gully on the right.

        The Mother's Crag. Installed on mother's day, 2011 by jon o'brien and mike trono when they probably should have been hanging with their mothers. I suppose naming a cliff after them is the next best thing!  

        This cliff is a fantastic gem hidden in plain sight a few hundred yards past the children's crag in willow springs. If you enjoy routes like "peaches" or "tonto" i believe that the classics of the mother's crag are just as great. The crag reminds me of home (the gunks) in that the quality and excitement of the climbing are high despite the difficulty being low. This crag has easy roadside access with morning sun and afternoon shade.  It shares the same orientation as the Children's Crag and Ragged Edges.  It is fairly secluded despite its easy access and the rock quality is superb.  

  NOTE:  all routes rappel from the tree above motorcycle mama with one 60 meter rope.  i did not see an easy way to gain the top of this crag (besides leading the climbs;)
