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.
Silver Bullet - V2
Silver Bullet climbs the obvious shallow dihedral... Start using an obvious crimp for the right, move up using edges and the dihedral to a reachy sloping top out on the terrace.
Walk off to the right.
another fun V2ish variation goes up and right on small edges and eventually the low angle arete.
Location
On the path above and right of the shogun boulder.
Protection
A pad or two is good due to the suspect nature of the holds.
