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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Currently containing one route, this 80 foot cliff contains excellent climbing potential. Firstly, it's over 150 feet long, and only the first 10 feet have been developed. Secondly, the rock is mostly vertical, and should contain some excellent vertical routes that will run the height of the cliff.

This rock will have morning sun and afternoon shade.

Rappelling/lowering is the only option off the current route, though future routes will have a place to walk off.

Getting There 

From the entrance to the canyon, head right around the memorialwall to the large cliff that sits behind it. You're there!
