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

A cool secluded boulder that looks out over the whole bar climbing area from a perch of sorts. Perfect landing and a lot of great holds with potential for hard lines.

Getting There

The easiest path is to take a downhill left off the main trail that goes to Shogun and follow a faint path through some semi-dense forest towards handlebar. After about a 2 minute walk you will go up a narrow section and end up in a small clearing directly above handlebar that overlooks the river and the boulder will be on your left.

Alternate (and much more strenuous) approach would be to go to handlebar, turn around, and climb directly uphill about 150 yds.
