Description
This is a big block, with a split in the back side of it. The rock is mostly good stuff, though if you enjoy smearing a lot, make sure your belayer wears a helmets, granite crystals DO come off.
Getting There
In Buena Vista, cross the train tracks, then take the street NOT right after the tracks, but the next one, left, next to the video store, I believe. From there, continue on and drive for a ways... then take a right onto BLM land, just before the 2 tunnels, continue on this, past Elephant Rock on your left, it will be on your left, and very easy to see, ROADSIDE (will post actually street names soon).
Per Jason Poole: in the middle of Buena Vista, turn East off US Hwy 24 onto Main Street. Go a couple of blocks and turn North onto N. Colorado Street (Chaffee County Rd. 371). Head out of BV on CR 371, and take the turn East (right) onto CR 375. You will come to the top of the switchbacks, and there is a parking area and small roads on the left for Turtle Rocks - KEEP GOING on CR 375. Shortly after you pass CR 376 (road on the right), the road will curve right, and Split Rock is there on your left, South Split Rock on the right.
