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.
Master Cylinder - V2/3
Master Cylinder moves up the slightly slabby face left of the mini dihedral, the dihedral itself is off for this line.
Start low on obvious edges, move carefully upward on suspect crimps to a spooky move up high. Best not to entirely trust any of the edges here.
there is a cool V3ish variation that DOES use the dihedral.
