Access Issue: The State Rec Area closes at dusk - most parking areas are self-paid
Details
Most of Auburn SRA is open from 7 am to sunset. Leave early enough to be off the trails before dusk. Most parking requires self registration fees in cash envelopes (or annual state park passes), and is enthusiastically enforced. Check the Auburn State Recreation Area website at parks.ca.gov/?page_id=502 for current information. Note that the park's policy is that technical roped climbing is only permitted in the Cave Valley/Quarry area - outside the fenced private quarry at the back. Unroped climbing - aka bouldering or DWS - is allowed everywhere with a safe landing.
Description
Fifth route from the left on the scale wall. Climb up the slab using huge jugs with good feet. This climb is stretchy enough where it will be a good warm up, and a good exercise for someone who hasn't climbed outdoors before.
The route is a bit runout for a 5.8, but the crux is protected and near the top.
