Horseshoe Canyon currently contains some of the tougher climbing in the Auburn Cliffs area, with routes up to 5.12c. This includes a project, which would be the presumed .12c. This area is still very much under development, with new routes going up every once in a while.
The right side of Horseshoe Canyon itself is over 200 feet in height, though most of the current routes don't go any further than 75.
All existing routes in Horseshoe Canyon are bolted, though one climb should definately be backed up with protection, as the bolts are not good.
Getting There
Estimated apporach time from the parking lot: 21 minutes.
From the entrance to the Auburn Cliffs Valley, head past the Memorial Wall and Scale wall into the first canyon on the left. This is horseshoe Canyon.
