Access Issue: Red Bluff is on private property and may be CLOSED at this time.
Details
It seems as though Red Bluff may now be CLOSED due to a change in land ownership. Please see comment at the bottom of the page.
Mr. Rita is a very nice man and is doing us a solid by letting us climb here. All sorts of people use his land for all sorts of reasons. The limestone crankers of SA and Austin like Red Bluff; it popular with fishermen; it is also popular with beer-bottle-smashing dipshits. Let's make sure that climbers are the good ones. As moot as it might seem, pack out your trash, shit in the portapotties, say your thank yous, be polite.
At Red Bluff there is to be NO ROPED CLIMBING, NO BOLTS, NO PETS. Leave Fido and your pooper-scooper at home.
Stop at the main house with barking dogs and pay Mr. Rita $5 per person for your day use of his beautiful property. If he doesn't come to the door, he's probably working in the vicinity. Look around.
Description
Downstream a good ways, just after an especially rickity boardwalk propped up by the root structure of an ancient cypress, you will find a 10-15 foot wall with several very worthy problems on it. Several of these problems either should not top out or top out and are downclimbed with the aid of a rope tied to a tree.
