We all have one. A place where we climb, or have climbed, that we have a deep connection with.
It can be a local choss pile that you learned to climb on, or maybe a destination climbing area. What qualifies it as your Mother Crag is the hold that that it has over you. That if you were to leave or if you have moved on, the place still has strong sentimental attachment.
I'll start. Lion's Head in Ontario. Climbing limestone on the crystal blue waters of Lake Huron's Georgian Bay. Rappelling from the top of the escarpment to a hanging belay station and clipping bolts to get out.
Post up!

Did my first route at Smith Rocks in 75. It will always be THE mother crag.
Of course Steins Pillar is one of the first Holy Grail destinations too....

The one with Horn's Mother in it, of course.
Not my first, but when I first got there, I knew I was home
Years later, Ed seemed comfortable crashing on her couch
