We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the fundraising campaign to open Auburn Quarry outside of Sacramento, California.

Opening day is Friday Sept. 27 and climbing is allowed every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday till Sundown!
We ask that you please respect the current hours of operation and hope that the cliff will be open year round in the future.

| Being the 2nd person ever to ascend this route (After route setter Aaron of course) can I just say how classic the feel was. It was a nice easygoing sport route that required me to boulder quietly through the starting move and then after first clip it was a nice right leg up with a swing right on a comfy plateau-like surface. A little dusty after being set up anew wasnt enough to keep me from clipping teh next 3 routes. very straightforward, good feeling limestone, solid hardware, safe embedded bolts. I felt like I was king of the world at the top. Thanks Aaron for the belay. Great name.is this a Harry Potter reference?
look forward to more 2nd ascents :)
Cheers
Michael Dorame

| Unless I was off route, 40 feet for this climb is generous, maybe 30 feet at most? Fun climb, but it's over very quickly. |
