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

This is a tall oblong boulder at the downstream-most reaches of Red Bluff. Its most vertical face faces upstream and beckons to be climbed.
One problem is listed in the existing guidebook. There is harder potential on the steeper, wet-side face, but a wet landing is guaranteed.

Getting There

As far down as you can go on the river left approach trail. Uphill to the right is a sad concrete staircase that goes up toward The Cave. This boulder is obvious in its enormity just downhill from there and abutting the river.
