From the ledge overlooking the Wreckage Wall and down and left you can see the Scale Wall.

A panorama of the left half of the entrance area. Watch out for rattlesnakes! If there's anything I can add or need to change, pm me.

The Pillar. Notice the two plastic holds attached to the overhang. Looks really sick! [But also confirmed forbidden by the park archaeologist. - ed.]

Crazy looking slab in the back of the quarry. Any routes on it?

Please don't sack line at the Quarry. This activity could result in the area being shut down. Thx.

do NOT be tempted to poach any of the illegal routes unless you have a deep pocket for the fine!

Upper section of Auburn cliffs.

The two towers. There is a rope on the right tower and two bolted routes? on the left tower.
