Burney Limestone (aka The Shredding) Rock Climbing

From I-5 in Redding take CA299 east toward Burney. Burney Limestone is 26 miles east of Redding. You'll pass a pretty large limestone outcropping, on the left. This is not it. The road is primarily S turns, but after a large S turn, you'll see a paved pullout on the right side of the road accompanied by a Highway Information sign with lights on top. Just beyond this on the right hand side of the road there is a small gravel pullout and a small trail on the left side of the road, on the north side of the highway, heading up a steep hill into the forest. This is the approach trail. The trail is very small and not well marked (look for a 5' tall rock outcropping), but it is there and takes you right into The Shredding. You'll know you passed it if you see a large limestone wall on the left. This wall is know as The Pachyderm Wall (aka The Sunshine Wall). Cross the road with caution, it is a highway, vehicles come around the corner at high speed.
