This side takes a little more finagling on grittier rock with a sketchier landing to gain the chimney. Walk off the north side near the other end of the formation.

Split Rock Chimney- South

A nice chimney on the south end of Split Rock, the namesake of the area. Most start the chimney on the south side where its a bit of a squeeze to step up into but the crack goes all the way through and it can be started on the north side as well. Once inside the chimney there are several ways to reach the top with some being harder than 5.8. Generally the center is easiest.

From the base of an obvious crack, step right onto the face, clip a bolt and continue up past two more bolts and small seams to a ledge at the top. Belay with two bolts, walk off the backside to descend. Leaving rappel biners or slings is like a target magnet to many of the shooting enthusiasts that visit the area. It got the name from an incident earlier in the day when Robert's dog got caught and injured in a leg trap.

A short hand crack at the back a of a flare.

A small concentration of boulders in the middle of the the main area of Knob Hill. This section is dominated by and named after the largest ones on the south end. There used to be huge scrub oak trees, large enough to park under, on the south end that have since been cut down by thrashin campers for fires. Now the south end by the chimney is called Sunshine Camp and to the left of that, around the first rocks, is a small pullout with a cave at the back named Boy Scout Camp. Bring your own firewood and give any etxra water to the remaining trees before leaving.
