Access Issue: Access Notes
Details
The open climbing areas are right next to a dangerous active quarry, so regardless of what you read on the internets, respect whatever "closed" signs you find on your visit. CRAGS and the Access Fund are beginning new projects to help improve access to Cave Valley. You can communicate access issues directly at CRAGS’ Cave Valley page norcalcrags.org/crags/cavev….
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 [Edit]
Climb the bolted route on the extreme right of the Scale wall.
Climbing is simple and well protected, though there is still tons of loose rock on this route. You will feel like you're going to trigger a landslide!
Crux is in the slightly overhung section at the top, though the holds are still quite good.

Protection [Edit]
8 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Don't use anything less than a 50 m rope on this route!
