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
Climb the second route from the right on the Scale wall, just to the left of Landslide (5.8).
Climbing is sustained up the crack, keep moving so you don't run out of gas! Well protected, though still dirty in the top sections.
The top of the route is considerably simpler, but you've got 45 feet of traversy crack before you get there!
