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.

Description 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 8 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor. Don't use anything less than a 50M rope on this route!

| A huge section of rock, probably as long as my arm and as tall as my chest to waist fell out from the face after the third bolt. What's left now is a downward sloping ledge and very few holds at that point. It's no longer a 5.8, that's for sure. |

| This weekend we found a pair of Mussy hooks in good shape for the anchor/rap station. |
