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
This is the second route from the right on the Wreckage Wall, which starts on the precarious first grassy ledge.
Climb up the leftward dihedral, which isn't all the obvious. There are a couple of moves that are a little confusing, but excellent moves once you figure them out. You're pretty much done once you top out over the edge.
