Description 

This south facing gully is near the west end of Mosaic Rock (on the way toward Beastie Alley). All the routes are on the west (southeast-facing) wall of the gully. Dennis Jackson's Rock Climbing New Mexico (2006 edition) lists 4 routes (from left to right):

  • Double Your Pleasure (5.11a), 3 bolts to 2-bolt anchor shared with Independence Day (FA: William Penner & Mick Schein, year?)
  • Dependence (5.11c), 4 bolts to 2-bolt anchor (FA: Jay Foley, ~1993)
  • Independence (5.11a), gear to 2-bolt anchor (FA: Jay Foley, ~1993)

All routes can be climbed and rapped with a 50 m rope.


Getting There 

Look for the area just before going around the SW end of Mosaic Rock (on the way to Beastie Alley).
