Auburn Cliffs Open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays till Sundown! MORE INFO >>>
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the fundraising campaign to open Auburn Quarry outside of Sacramento, California. The climbing community responded quickly and generously to raise $9,520 to provide critical services and put CRAGS in a position to restore climbing access at Auburn Quarry!
A special thanks to all of the individual donors and local businesses, including Planet Granite, Sacramento Pipeworks, and Stoneage Climbing Holds for generously responding to the call for help.
Opening day is Friday Sept. 27 and climbing is allowed every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday till Sundown!
We ask that you please respect the current hours of operation and hope that the cliff will be open year round in the future.
Stay tuned for updates at www.norcalcrags.org.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description This route climbs up from the previously existing plaque on the Memorial Wall. Climb up the large blocks and jugs over an overhanging section to the juggy slab above. Sustained, but not too tough for a 5.9 climber.
This is second route from the left on the Memorial wall.
Protection 3 bolts to a 3 bolt top anchor.

| The first bolt is still missing as of this posting. Would make for a bit of a spicy on-sight, especially if you are not use to the climbing in the Quarry or not very comfortable on-sighting at least a few grades higher. Fun moves though. |
