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
Starts far right side of twin towers, traverse along base to top of hillside. Good staging area farther right among some boulders. Single belay bolt at base for safety. Start right of The Cross, clip first bolt of The Cross, then two bolts to choss ledges. Traverse right close to cliff base clipping bolt with quick link. Continue straight up seven bolts to anchor. Crux is about fifth bolt.
