Split Personality Rock is a climbing area in Joshua Tree National Park, within the Joshua Tree Wilderness, on land managed by the National Park Service. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, and a fee is charged for access. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Yucca Valley show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 80°F, while July and August average about 96°F. That station sits well below the wilderness, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several climbing areas lie about 0.1 mile away, including Keith's Wall, the Oyster Bar Area and Asylum, The. Ryan Ranch Trailhead is about 0.7 mile off for hikers.
