Description 

This wall is adjacent to the Health Wall, and separated from it by a prominent arete. Look for Joe's Crack, a prominent handcrack that splits the wall and is clearly visible from a distance. If in doubt, look for the "benny silva" graffito chiseled into the rock at eye level.


Getting There 

Follow directions to the Original Area. Benny Silva is where most of the footpaths take you.

Featured Route For (04) Benny Silva Wall
A shot of the entire route. Thin climbing to the obvious rest area and then easy the rest of the way.

Big Blobs of Love 5.8  NM : Gallup Area : ... : (04) Benny Silva Wall
A fun sport climb that climbs a juggy arete. The start can be hard, especially for shorter or less-experienced climbers. If struggling higher on the route, remember to use both side of the arete. Not a bad choice for a first lead: well-protected, and with generally good clipping stances. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in NM
