Description

Often overlooked on the way to more popular Split Rock areas, Graceland has a few worthwhile routes, including Dick Van Dyke (5.10c), Pelvic Thrust (5.10c), and Nothing But a Handog (5.11b).

Getting There

Graceland is a set of northwest-facing cliffs just visible on the left before the end of the Split Rock entrance road. You can park either at a stone bordered pullout, or park as normal and walk a bit further.
