Split Rock is a bouldering area in New York, about a mile from the village of Wading River. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with High Ball Boulder and Southern Boulder each about 0.1 mile away. The area has two bouldering routes, both rated V0 to V2 on the V scale. South East Corner is the easiest at V0, and West Side Traverse is the hardest at V2. The climbing is all bouldering, so there is no rope or anchor work to set up. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 82°F in July, with lows near 64°F. Winters are cold, with January highs around 38°F and lows near 21°F. The closest trails are Red Trail, about 1.8 miles away, and the mountain biking on Hillside Drive, about 2.6 miles off. The Bluff Boulders lie about 4.1 miles away.
