to the northeast, Split Rock Lighthouse to the southwest, the Bayfield Peninsula and Apostle Islands of Wisconsin across the lake to the south, and ship traffic on Lake Superior. It is a regional center for rock climbing with many routes up the lakeshore cliffs. The majority of the rock climbing routes range from 5.8 to 5.12 on the Yosemite Decimal System grading scale, with a few routes in the 5.13 range. Most of the climbing routes require traditional climbing gear to protect the climber. A novice climber interested in climbing at Palisade Head may inquire with local gear outfitters that guide outdoor climbing trips. These cliffs were used for more sinister, albeit fictional purposes in The Good Son, partially filmed on location at Palisade Head.
