Climbing Near Red Bluff, California

This small alcove provides a few fun problems on good smooth river stone. Take the asphalt path on the west end of the parking lot for 100 yards and then take a dirt path down the hill until you see the alcove.

This popular swimming hole holds many opportunities for toproping and bouldering. Good option for a hot day. Drive five miles down Clear Creek Road to the Clear Creek Overlook. Park here.

(Parking is more developed at the Horsetown trailhead on the West side.) From the edge of the bridge on the East side head north on the light traffic trail. At some point it will cut away from the creek, don't fret, you're still on the right trail! When it starts heading back there will be an area of ground with rock, then a fallen tree. Hop on the fallen tree and cross it. From there about 100 feet down the trail you'll see multiple terraces. Make your way down to the first or second one to rappel off the Fixe bolts and chains. The higher terrace rappel is better with a 70m rope, but both can easily be done with a 60.If you are struggling, the Mountain Project map with the rough estimate of where the approach trail is comes in handy finding your way.
