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.

The Mixology Boulder

Walking in from the main/OHV parking lot, this cool Green Limestone boulder offers fun moves, on quality rock, and easy access compared to some of the stuff sitting deeper into the Bar that requires a fairly involved scramble.

The Mixology boulder has 3 or 4 good lines and a number of variations, expect steep over-hanging start moves leading to a bulge and juggy top outs. Super cool and easy to protect.

Finding the Mixology Boulder

From the OHV parking area, walk in about ten minutes, passing the first beach this is in the first section of big boulders you come to. Look for a a big piece of twisted old metal, boulder is right next to it.

This line sits right on the river, the start could be submerged during high water. Look for levels below 200CFS for this line to be doable.
